CaterPillar™ enables visually impaired visitors to independently explore venues using their own cane. Combining haptic cues, audio descriptions, and spatial awareness, it provides dignified, self-directed wayfinding through complex environments — sculpture gardens, museum campuses, hospital corridors, city centers. The accessible path is the primary path, not a separate workflow, and it remains functional during degraded and incident modes
Accessibility in venues shouldn't mean dependence. CaterPillar™ enables visually impaired guests to navigate complex physical environments independently — using their existing cane as the primary interface. The system provides haptic and audio guidance through the venue, helping visitors find exhibits, restrooms, exits, and services without requiring assistance from staff or companions. CaterPillar™ works alongside the broader AV++® ecosystem: visitors can receive Alice® narration and Lory® multilingual content through their own devices while CaterPillar™ handles the physical navigation. For venues, CaterPillar™ demonstrates a genuine commitment to inclusion — not just ADA compliance, but real independence for visitors with visual impairments.
