UAA Disability Support Services is introducing "RightHear" talking signage on Anchorage campus.

Access for Everyone. RightHear. Right Now.
Whether you’re a first-year or have traveled across our main campus countless times, you may not have realized there’s been more RightHear at UAA than meets the eye.

Strategically placed talking signage is currently operating along a core campus corridor, connecting Rasmuson Hall, AVIS Alaska Sports Complex, the Student Union, Natural Sciences Building, Social Sciences Building, and the UAA/APU Consortium Library.

Powered by RightHear, multidirectional Bluetooth beacons turn these buildings into a custom orientation and campus wayfinding experience, delivering responsive audio navigation feedback as people move along the route.

Designed with accessibility in mind, RightHear is useful for people who are blind or have low vision, as well as new students, visitors, and anyone navigating this part of campus.
