Hello fellow Federationist and Convention attendees,
Please read the previous message for a tool that can be used at convention
this year. Technology is enhanceing the way we handle the obstacles that we
encounter daily. This is a technological advancement that many of you may be
interested in utilizing. In lieu of the recent message that our Vice
President sent out regarding the changes due to growth of our convention,
The use of this technology could reinforce your navigation efforts.
Instructions and contact information is in the previous message as well.
Blind love is the answer, presently , and for our future!

How To Set Up And Use LowViz Guide
Your Set-By-Step Manual
_____
STEP 1 - Turn on VoiceOver and customize to suit
To find VoiceOver on your device, go to SETTINGS, then GENERAL, then
ACCESSIBILITY. You may also tap the home button three times or ask SIRI to
"Turn Voice Over On".
Need to learn how to use VoiceOver? Find easy-to-follow instructions here
<http://voiceover-easy.net/> . You might also enjoy learning and practicing
VoiceOver with the free app called LookTel VoiceOver Tutorial. Get it here
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/looktel-voiceover-tutorial/id598788231?mt=8
> .
STEP 2 - Turn on Bluetooth in SETTINGS, or ask SIRI.
STEP 3 - Download
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lowviz-guide-indoor-navigation/id987917857?
mt=8&uo=6&at=&ct=> , Install, and Open LowViz Guide
LowViz Guide is free from the App Store
<https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lowviz-guide-indoor-navigation/id987917857?
mt=8&uo=6&at=&ct=> . You may use it during all events that advertise the
service.
STEP 4 - Choose the building for your event
Select the BUILDINGS tab at the bottom of the screen. Select your building
from the list.
STEP 5 - Look around
When you are in the area of the event, LowViz Guide will automatically begin
speaking names and distances of Points of Interest (POIs) within an
adjustable range of 100 feet (30 meters).
You can limit the number of POIs being described by de-selecting categories
on the POI SELECTION screen, Tab 3 at the bottom of the screen.
NOTE FOR SIGHTED USERS: LowViz Guide will display LISTS, DIRECTIONS, and
DISTANCES on the screen, plus a MAP showing localization and routes. Find
this with the MAP button at the bottom of the screen.
STEP 6 - Move Around
As you walk, hold the device at your waist pointed forward. It will also
work in a shirt pocket with the screen facing toward your chest. In either
case, ear phones will be very helpful. As you walk slowly, LowViz Guide will
continually identify POIs and their distances from you. You should continue
using your regular mobility aids for safety in maneuvering around objects
and people.
IMPORTANT: LowViz Guide uses radio waves, so it "sees" through walls and
other obstacles. Do not try to walk unguided in the direction of a distant
POI without reading the next section!
STEP 7 - Go Someplace
To travel to a distant POI, follow these instructions:
A. Select the SEARCH button at the top left of the screen.
B. A list of categories appears. Select one.
C. A SEARCH FIELD appears at the top of the screen. A KEYPAD appears at the
bottom. Between them is a scrollable menu of POIs in alphabetical order. (If
you wish to hide the KEYPAD, select the small DISPLAY RESULTS button inside
the right side of the SEARCH FIELD.)
D. You will have three options:
1) Select any one of the POIs, or 2) Type the POI name in the SEARCH field
and select SEARCH, or 3) Select the DICTATE key at the bottom of the keypad
and follow the verbal instructions.
NOTICE: If the name of a POI contains a number (like "Ballroom 1"), speak
the name only, as the speech function may misunderstand certain numbers. You
may then select from a short list of POIs containing that name.
E. A window appears containing the name of the POI followed by more
information about it.
F. Beneath the information window is a row of three BUTTONS:
1 "Favorite" lets you save the POI for quick future reference.
2 "Go To" activates a routing tone which guides you to the POI.
3 "Dismiss" returns you to the previous screen.
G. Select Button 2 ("Go To"). and slowly aim your device from side to side.
If you are on the correct level of the venue, a TONE will sound. As the
device is pointed in the wrong direction, the tone will rise in pitch. When
the tone is very low or silent, it is pointed in the right direction, and
you may begin walking. As you travel, you will also be hearing about POIs
around you. but continue to adjust your direction by concentrating on the
tone.
H. You will eventually hear either that you are close to your destination or
that you have reached your destination. That means you are within just a few
feet of your goal, and you may need to then depend upon other sensory cues
to zero in on your target.
I. Either close the app or begin a new search. Leaving the app running when
not in use will waste battery power.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION - Please Read Carefully
1. While listening to or viewing your iDevice, remain aware of your
surroundings and other people. The safety of your route may be compromised
by human traffic flow, construction, temporary obstructions, floor
conditions, or other such unforeseen conditions. Maintain all safety and
mobility techniques ordinarily recommended by mobility specialists.
2. Do not expect LowViz Guide to replace your usual means of navigation. It
is not a substitute for orientation and mobility with a sighted guide, cane,
or guide dog.
3. Do not rely on LowViz Guide to be completely accurate. The maps and
routing have been painstakingly created, but your common sense should
prevail.
4. You are responsible for your own personal safety and mobility. MD Support
and the host of this event hope that LowViz Guide will be a good experience
for you, but we cannot be held responsible for accidents or injuries
occurring while using the service.
