About
RightHear is an audio format signage system that helps users understand where they are, what’s around them, and much more – simply by pointing their smartphone around.
The system includes three key components:
1. Accessibility Spot (AS)
A small, smart, self-powered sensor using Bluetooth to detect nearby users, and our a graphic element (Marker) to position the user in space.
It can be easily installed indoors or outdoors at key points like entrances, elevators, restrooms, stairs, or other areas of interest.
2. Mobile App
- Current Location – Useful information about the immediate area, such as opening hours, services, and special events.
- 360° Orientation – Descriptions of nearby points of interest, including their direction and distance.
- Nearby Zones – A list of accessible locations nearby, with directions via apps like Google Maps. Accessibility info starts playing automatically near the entrance.
3. Client Dashboard
An online platform that lets venue owners manage Accessibility Spots and update content in real time. Check it out at this link.
