LowViz Guide

The National Federation of the Blind of New Jersey is proud to announce the
40th state convention, Raising Expectations, at the Holiday Inn, 151 Route
72 East, Manahawkin from Thursday, November 10 through Sunday, November 13,
2016.

We are pleased to feature LowViz Guide, a new indoor navigation app for the
blind and visually impaired. The app was developed in 2015 as a free
community service by  Macular Degeneration Support. Since then, it has been
provided at more than a  dozen state and national conventions for
blind/visually impaired attendees who  have access to iPhones or iPads.

As part of the LowViz Guide  service, we will:
•    map your venue with points of interest and scheduling details for
meeting rooms
•    set up a temporary beacon system throughout your meeting area
•    provide you with promotional materials to introduce your attendees  to
Low VizGuide
•    provide step-by-step user instructions in large print, audio, and
Braille formats
•    be on hand during the entire event to offer personal support for your
attendees
