Inspiring future technologies for everyone

We believe that technology has huge potential to transform the ways in which blind and partially sighted people get out and about. That is why we've worked with Microsoft to develop a concept of how things might look soon, if we all pull together to make our vision a reality. 'A Family Day Out' shows how future technologies could enable people with a range of sight loss to easily make safe, informative and enjoyable journeys. It also shows the massive impact that devices and technology services could have on everyone's lives - not just blind and partially sighted people.

To realise the concepts demonstrated in this film requires collaborative working between technology companies, transport providers, retailers, entertainment venues and policy makers. By working together, we can deliver a society-wide solution to address mobility and independence for all.
