Co-design
Develop with users and stakeholders, not merely for them.
Innovation & Solutions
Technology that turns accessibility knowledge into usable experiences
We are developing a connected family of solutions for accessible information, orientation, participation and safety.
Custom & pilot development
Tactile & Audio-Tactile Solutions
Information designed to be explored through touch and sound
We design tactile graphics, tactile maps and interactive audio-tactile material that can make spatial, educational and cultural information more understandable and usable.
- Indoor and outdoor tactile maps
- Audio-tactile maps with structured descriptions
- Raised plans and accessible evacuation maps
- Tactile representations of artefacts, exhibits and concepts
- Educational diagrams and learning material
- Interaction through QR, NFC, app or other suitable interface
Potential applications
Museums, schools, universities, visitor centres, transport hubs, public buildings, tourist routes and emergency-preparedness material.
The production method and interaction technology are selected according to the users, environment, durability, update needs and available budget.
More than an “accessible / not accessible” label
A useful guide provides specific and verifiable information so people can decide whether a place or service meets their individual requirements.
- Measurements and route characteristics
- Alternative entrances and services
- Sensory and communication information
- Transport and arrival connections
- Date and source of each update
Pilot-ready concept
Digital Accessibility Guides & Wayfinding
Plan the visit before arriving—and navigate with better information
Accessible web and mobile guides can describe entrances, routes, lifts, toilets, services, sensory conditions, assistance arrangements and emergency information.
They can serve a single building, a campus, a hospital, a museum, a transport network, a municipality or an entire destination.

AI Accessibility Agents
Organisation-specific assistance grounded in verified information
An accessibility agent can help a visitor, patient, student or citizen find information about routes, buildings, services, documents and procedures in an accessible conversational interface.
Possible contexts include municipalities, hospitals, universities, ministries, museums and other public organisations.
- Answers based on approved organisational sources
- Source attribution and last-updated information
- Clear uncertainty and human escalation
- Accessible keyboard, screen-reader and voice interaction
- Multilingual information architecture
- Governance, monitoring and controlled updates
Not a generic chatbot
The agent is designed around a defined organisation, verified accessibility data and clear responsibility for updates.
Safety boundary: an AI agent should not provide unvalidated autonomous instructions during an active fire or other life-critical event. Emergency functions require dedicated engineering, testing and integration with official systems.
Possible outputs
- Accessible preparedness information
- Evacuation-plan accessibility review
- Tactile and audio-tactile evacuation maps
- Visual, audible and tactile alert planning
- Easy-to-understand instructions
- Staff procedures and training material
Research & pilot development
Accessible Emergency Preparedness
Safety information and procedures must include people with different access needs
We assess barriers in preparedness and evacuation planning and develop inclusive information and technology concepts for buildings and public environments.
Initial solutions focus on preparation, verified information, planning and staff support. Any real-time safety system must be subject to appropriate technical assurance and formal responsibility.
Shared accessibility data
An architecture designed for consistency and reuse
A verified knowledge base can power several interfaces without recreating the same information separately.
- Data provenance and update ownership
- Structured descriptions of places, routes and services
- Accessible outputs for different users and devices
- APIs and integrations where appropriate
- Change monitoring and version history

Responsible innovation
Novelty is valuable only when the result is usable, trustworthy and maintainable
Evidence
Separate verified information from assumptions and generated content.
Accessibility by design
Make every interface and output accessible from the outset.
Privacy & security
Collect only necessary data and define access, retention and responsibility.
Human oversight
Provide escalation and accountability where automated systems are used.
Validation
Test in the environment and with the people for whom the solution is intended.
Help shape the first generation of Accessibility Hub solutions
We are seeking real environments and committed organisations for carefully scoped pilots.
