Thank you for your interest in my questionnaire.

I am developing additional services that allow organizations to provide customized location information to BlindSquare users.

Through a simple online interface, organizations can enter GPS coordinates of a point and a description of that point. BlindSquare can retrieve this information as soon as it is entered or updated and will read it out to the BlindSquare user. The University of Iowa uses the service to notify blind students of entrances of buildings, steps, or temporary construction work, when they approach an entrance or an obstacle. If a familiar route is blocked due to road works, it is also possible to suggest an alternative route to the user. Organizations can update or add to the information any time, and BlindSquare will use the new information instantly.

Later on, I plan to extend this service to indoor navigation. Apple’s iBeacons are an excellent tool to mark locations inside of buildings and to provide information about them. iBeacons are a good option to use for indoor navigation, because they are produced for the mainstream market so they are relatively inexpensive ($20-$30 per unit).
I would like to contact individuals and organizations who might be interested in providing Customized Location Information to their visitors, staff, or students. These could be orientation and mobility instructors, schools and institutions for the blind, universities or colleges that would like to make their campus more accessible or museums that are known for their efforts to be inclusive. The service will be free of charge for blindness organizations, orientation and mobility instructors, schools and universities.

I would appreciate your help to find organizations or individuals who might be interested in my service. If you have contacts within an organization, I would also appreciate if you could introduce me and my project to them, if you think they might be willing and able to help.
If after filling in this questionnaire, you think of other organizations later on, please feel free to return to this site and submit their details.
None of the fields is mandatory, so I do not expect you to enter complete information about suggested individuals or organisations.

If you agree to use your personal contacts to introduce me and my project to an organization, please do not contact them yet. I will get back to you when I am ready to talk with them.
None of the information you submit will be shared with any third party.
Thank you for your help, it is highly appreciated!
