Soundscape vs Sixth Sense Navigation

Soundscape uses 3D audio technology to help users with visual impairment build a fuller and more complete awareness of urban environments, giving them a richer understanding of where they are and what is around them. This in turn helps them to navigate with greater confidence and more independence. It allows users to search for destinations and store markers and route information that they can use to help guide them on their way to the places they need to reach.

Sixth Sense Navigation is an accessible walking navigation app co-designed with blind and visually impaired people and orientation and mobility trainers. It helps you plan your journey, stay on route, and discover points of interest around you, such as shops, cafés, and other local businesses. Designed for blind, partially sighted, and sighted users, Sixth Sense Navigation is built from the ground up for accessibility and is fully compatible with VoiceOver on iPhone and TalkBack on Android.
