HapticNav vs Start Navigating

HapticNav® is a haptic navigation app, paired with an optional HapticNav® wristband, that gently guides you to your destination using vibration, without the need for any visual or audio feedback. Our patented Haptic Corridor™ works like a compass, giving you feedback based on the direction you are facing. When you are in the Haptic Corridor™ you feel no vibrations at all. When you turn you begin to feel a slight vibration. And that vibration gets stronger the more you turn away from the correct direction. We tested with 1000s of users and it is so intuitive, most can figure out the correct way to go without any instruction. In 2017, Wayband® made history when it helped the first person who is blind to run in the NYC marathon, without being tethered to a sighted guide. WearWorks® is a haptic platform company. We build products and experiences that communicate information through touch. Our mission is to reimagine the skin as a high fidelity communications channel capable of giving you information in a more intuitive and less obtrusive way. And our first goal is to revolutionize navigation for the sense of touch. 77% of global smartphone users use navigation apps monthly. Navigation is communicated entirely through vision and audition. For the billions of us who rely on mapping applications for our daily lives, is the need to constantly staring at a screen, or listening to a voice, while getting from one place to another really the best we can do? And even more, for the 285 million people world-wide living with a visual impairment, and the 466 million living with a hearing impairment, that status quo is inaccessible. We see a better way to navigate. One that frees your ears and eyes while giving you all the information you need directly through your natural sense of touch. Download the HapticNav® App to feel your way... anywhere. Terms: https://www.wear.works/terms-conditions

Indoor routes can be difficult to remember, especially inside unfamiliar buildings where traditional maps offer little help. A turn that seemed obvious on the way in can be easy to miss when it is time to return. Start Navigating lets you record an indoor walking route as you travel it, then open the saved route later for spoken guidance. Save the path once, add useful named spots along the way, and return to it whenever you need it. Record Once. Follow It Again. Key Features - Route Recording Record an indoor walking route at your normal pace and save it with a name for later. - Spoken Turn Guidance Hear clear instructions a few steps before each turn, giving you time to prepare as you follow the route. - Forward and Reverse Routes Follow a route in the direction you recorded it or reverse it to return from the destination to the starting point. - Named Spots Add names for useful places and landmarks while recording. Adjust marker names and alert distances later. - Places and Route Filters Organize routes by building, place, floor, or area. Filter saved routes by location and date to find the route you need. - Flexible Guidance Feedback Choose your preferred speaking voice and speed. Use spoken cues, navigation sounds, haptic feedback, or a combination that works for you. - iCloud Sync Keep saved routes available across your devices through iCloud. - Shared Routes Beta Browse routes shared by other users and add a separate copy to your personal route collection. Shared routes are created by users, so always confirm that a route makes sense for your surroundings. - Core Guidance Without Internet Record and follow your personal routes without an internet connection. Shared Routes Beta and iCloud sync require a connection. Important Safety Information Start Navigating helps you retrace routes you have already walked and recorded. It cannot detect obstacles, stairs, drop offs, doors, furniture that has moved, or other conditions that may have changed. Continue using your usual navigation tools, mobility skills, and awareness. Start Navigating is designed to work alongside them, not replace them. If something feels wrong or you become disoriented, stop and check your surroundings.
