What sets NaviLens apart from standard QR codes? (from the NaviLens FAQ Page:
"The NaviLens Accessible QR Code can be read from much further away, within an angle of up to 160 degrees and on the move. This allows its use without the need to focus or frame the code on the mobile screen. The user does not need to know exactly where the codes are and can therefore be used by blind or vision impaired people. In addition, the user experience is much more satisfactory as it is much faster and easier to use.
Blind people or anyone with low vision in general struggle to use a QR code because they do not know where it is placed and so have great difficulty focusing and framing it. The NaviLens Accessible QR Code does not need to be focused or framed and can therefore be used by everyone."
