[CEUD-ICT] Device helps blind guests better enjoy Disney World

[Shane T. Hogan]

I've come across a few museums and heritage sites using Bluetooth
applications to guide visitors. These applications were not designed
specifically for people with vision impairments, but it is certainly
possibly that such applications would have audio and visual outputs.

Here's a few links to examples of these guides;

A prototype museum or gallery audio tour system using Bluetooth technology
has been successfully demonstrated at the Melbourne Museum:
