Blind and vision impaired BindiMaps users got to explore a shopping centre independently last month, at our Big Day Out at Stockland Wetherill Park.

After a briefing and orientation from the BindiMaps team and folks from Guide Dogs NSW/ACT, participants were sent out to explore the centre, with many taking the opportunity to purchase early Christmas presents for family and friends.

The event was designed to introduce local people to BindiMaps and show how they can use the technology to quickly and easily find their way around unfamiliar places.

It was also a great opportunity for us to collect feedback and suggestions from users.
