The MIDC congratulates RightHear for helping to make Natural Bridge State Park in Virginia the first State Park in the US to be fully accessible. RightHear’s technology allows a person’s phone to pick up on one of the Bluetooth beacons from up to 30 feet away, and then the phone will let you know what you are approaching. Additionally, the app can also speak in 26 different languages. This cutting-edge technology is designed to assist people who are blind or visually impaired, ensuring that they can navigate the park with greater independence and confidence.
