Step vs Ally

The Step-Hear® app is the new platform that will enable visually impaired and blind people get an audio and vibration alert whenever passing by a Step-Hear® device installed in private and public locations. On receiving the alert signal by Bluetooth the user presses one of the buttons triggering an audio message giving location, service and navigation instructions.
