DANOVA project team is excited to publicly announce the winner of The Call for innovative ideas for accessibility of transportation facilities for blind and partially sighted people!

Our International Expert Jury had a hard time evaluating all the ideas, as we received more than 20 applications to the Call! Every member of the Jury had to rate each submitted idea from the scale 1 - 10, and reason the final result. By aggregating all results, the Jury got the final ranking!

There were ideas that were strictly on a conceptual level and those that were already proving to be working and helping people, as well as ideas that were truly innovative and applications that were similar to existing solutions.

DANOVA project team would like to express its appreciation to all applicants for the efforts and time invested in their idea. The final rank shows that the difference between the winner and the second best idea is just 0.16 points!

A big congratulations from both DANOVA project team and International Jury to the winner of the DANOVA Call for Ideas and the best ranked innovative idea - "Guide-Me"!

“Guide-Me” is a new video assistance system for all travelers, as well as people with disabilities and emergency services. Its mind-blowing feature is its universal applicability to all groups of people. This assistive technology supports all people who feel insecure in complex buildings such as shopping centres, subways, train stations or airports in navigation and orientation. Passengers can request help from a control center or family member at the touch of a button using a smartphone. With this assistance tool (for smartphones and PCs), support can be offered on a point-by-point basis, in real-time, across the board and without the need to retrofit special infrastructure. “Guide-Me” is the first wworldwide operator help service incorporating audio, video, data and map!
