feelSpace vs VAG

Orientation that you can feel! Description: The feelSpace app is a navigation app. It is designed to be used together with the feelSpace naviBelt. The App interfaces with the feelSpace naviBelt via Bluetooth. The naviBelt displays directions through tactile vibration around the waist. Directional information, orientation and navigation cues are intuitively understand in this way. Using tactile directions can help the user focus their eyes and attention on their surroundings during navigation. In the app, you can select the navigation mode. In routing mode or turn-by-turn-mode mode, the app navigates you from your current location to a desired destination. In the beeline mode, you receive information about the direction of a destination. Directions are displayed in a tactile manner (together with the naviBelt), graphically and, optionally, acoustically. The app is designed for outdoors use. Care was taken to ensure that visually impaired and blind people can also use the app without any problems. Features: • connect via Bluetooth to the naviBelt, • adapt intensity of the vibration, • map view, • select a destination though clicking on the map, searching for an address, entering coordinates, • select a navigation mode (compute and display tactilely the direction between your current location and the destination), • Set bookmarks, • Supported assistance through Siri Shortcut, VoiceOver Mode. If you do not yet have your own naviBelt, please visit our website: www.feelSpace.de and contact us. Feedback: We are happy to get your feedback. Please contact us by mail: feedback@feelspace.de Note: A naviBelt, GPS data, internet and Bluetooth are required to use the application’s full range of features. Their continuous use can greatly reduce the battery life of your smartphone. For long trips, an additional battery for the smartphone is recommended. The development of this App was supported with funds by the EU (“Europa für Niedersachsen”, EFRE).

Sitze ich im richtigen Fahrzeug? Wann muss ich aussteigen? Alle Busse, Straßenbahnen, und U-Bahnen der VAG Nürnberg verfügen über TFT-Monitore. Diese zeigen Fahrtinformationen wie Liniennummer, Fahrtziel, aktuelle Haltestelle, Linienverlauf sowie Umsteigemöglichkeiten mit Echtzeit an. Via Bluetooth und über die in iOS integrierte VoiceOver-Funktion werden die Informationen an Fahrgäste nach Auswahl des TFT-Monitors akustisch weitergegeben. Eine Besonderheit des VAG-Lotsen ist ein Vibrationsalarm, kurz bevor der Nutzer sein Fahrtziel erreicht. So gewinnen blinde und sehbehinderte Fahrgäste an Sicherheit und können die Verkehrsmittel der VAG Nürnberg noch leichter selbständig nutzen.
