Walt Disney World’s handheld audio description device is another way for people affected by impaired vision or blindness to enjoy the theme parks. It provides details on places to eat or drink, attractions, descriptions of areas and more. The GPS information is available too, These devices are designed well for easy control and require a $25 daily deposit too. They’re available at all theme parks at Walt Disney World.

Clearly, Walt Disney World cares about making the experience magical for everyone. It’s vital to offer multiple accessibility solutions covering such a vast site (currently 25,000 acres) and the company does this well. But they’ll have to keep up with evolving technology to maximize visitors’ experience. Smartphones now allow people living with blindness or impaired vision to follow audio directions using GPS, but these are unavailable indoors.

This means finding your way around stores, restaurants, restrooms, and hotels can be difficult. Visitors are unable to see upcoming barriers or obstacles that could be injured too, especially in busy areas where they might feel confused. What can be done about this?

One option is RightHear. It is an innovative indoor orientation solution for those affected by impaired vision or blindness: this smartphone app works with sensors installed throughout a structure to deliver audio guidance. As a result, users can find their way safely, relying on clear information on their surroundings. Just aim your smartphone in any direction and you’ll discover if potential hazards lie in your way.

Walt Disney World is one of the world’s top destinations, attracting millions of guests each year, and its commitment to accessibility is impressive. Hopefully, it will continue to stay up to date with the latest innovations to keep everyone satisfied.
