The main idea is having an application that knows where a smart phone is in a building, thereafter to be able to provide greater accessibility to indoor spaces for people with low or no vision. Depending on the position of the device, information related to the specific use of the application is displayed. More specifically auditory information to improve the experience of people with low or no vision. This could be information of a route or information on different points of the premises as the device approaches them. For this an indoor location system based on WiFi was built in order to provide the capabilities to make this possible, in conjunction with a smart phone application that allows users to improve the building experience.The user will be able to make interactive tours, cultural tours, even the visit of stores in a way that allows better accessibility taking into account the disabilities that this present.

Because it's a software and it doesn't depend of a specific building, it can be built for any existing building. And it easily applicable in any environment.
This project only depends on software and not any infrastructure or materials, and that's why it's sustainable.
This project takes the values of tolerance, equity, solidarity and puts them as the main component to keep in mind those people who have the disability of not having vision. It carries these principles into every stage of development in order to promote universal access to common spaces where disabled people generally do not have access.
