NaviLens App: Better than Barcodes, Clearer than QR!

Today, Cory and Luke are discussing the FREE NaviLens app, which has been making waves in the industry by successfully partnering with a number of major brands like: Kellogg's, Olay, Pantene, Coca-Cola, Gillette, Oral-B and many more! But don't be fooled! This app is much more than simple product identification!

The real potential of NaviLens comes from the codes themselves which can be detected much more easily and from a far greater distance than both QR or Barcodes. This is especially convenient for those with a visual impairment because it means you do not need to line up your phone's camera perfectly in order to sense the code. Once detected, the app guides you towards that code, making it a reliable navigational aid as well.

But the usefulness does not end there! New NaviLens codes can be printed off from their website in any size and labeled for personal use in the home. There is no limit to the amount of text information you can assign to a code. Better yet, NaviLens preset printable codes can make it easier to accommodate the visually impaired by labeling important signage with preset codes such as: bathroom, stairs, recycling bin, water bottle filling station, etc. These preset codes are easy to print out and post up so as to help any smartphone user to interact more easily with their environment in places such as subway stations, bus stops and museums, public buildings or special event centers.
