Running

A very practical way for many athletes to use our digital guidance system is to have one at a sports ground with recorded paths for warm-up, running 400 m, long jump etc. In this way, visually impaired athletes can easily run on their own when it suits them, and many people can share the same system. The last year we have sold several guidance systems to athletics clubs in Sweden and delivered them with designed digital paths around their facilities. Since our systems do not demand any physical installation at the stadium, they have proven very practical at the sports ground, as they do not disturb other arrangements and activities. With a digital guide, visually impaired runners can more naturally blend in with the other runners and nobody must interrupt their training to guide the blind person. In this way we believe that the digital guide simplifies the inclusion of people with visual impairment at the sporting grounds and that it gives more people the opportunity to be part of a community. Exercise and training are important for the wellbeing of everybody but for visually impaired, it can often be complicated to exercise whenever they want. However, a digital guide that is ready to be used at a sporting ground, lowers this threshold substantially.
