Description
Orientation that you can feel!
Description:
The feelSpace app is a navigation app. It is designed to be used together with the feelSpace naviBelt. The App interfaces with the feelSpace naviBelt via Bluetooth. The naviBelt displays directions through tactile vibration around the waist. Directional information, orientation and navigation cues are intuitively understand in this way. Using tactile directions can help the user focus their eyes and attention on their surroundings during navigation.
In the app, you can select the navigation mode. In routing mode or turn-by-turn-mode mode, the app navigates you from your current location to a desired destination. In the beeline mode, you receive information about the direction of a destination. Directions are displayed in a tactile manner (together with the naviBelt), graphically and, optionally, acoustically.
The app is designed for outdoors use. Care was taken to ensure that visually impaired and blind people can also use the app without any problems.
Features:
• connect via Bluetooth to the naviBelt,
• adapt intensity of the vibration,
• map view,
• select a destination though clicking on the map, searching for an address, entering coordinates,
• select a navigation mode (compute and display tactilely the direction between your current location and the destination),
• Set bookmarks,
• Supported assistance through Siri Shortcut, VoiceOver Mode.
If you do not yet have your own naviBelt, please visit our website: www.feelSpace.de and contact us.

Note:
A naviBelt, GPS data, internet and Bluetooth are required to use the application’s full range of features. Their continuous use can greatly reduce the battery life of your smartphone. For long trips, an additional battery for the smartphone is recommended.
The development of this App was supported with funds by the EU (“Europa für Niedersachsen”, EFRE).
What’s New
Version 2.2.5
New features:
- Address on shake: You can now request the address of your current location by shaking your phone when you are using the feelSpace application. This feature can be enabled or disabled in the settings of the application.
- Routes with OpenStreetMap: You can now choose between two map providers to calculate the routes for navigation: Apple-Map and OpenStreetMap. Apple-Map remains the default selection for navigation, and you can change to OpenStreetMap in the settings. With OpenStreetMap you can obtain additional information on crossings during navigation.
Additional changes:
- The settings menu has been re-organized into categories that are easier to understand. In addition, the items in the settings menu have been improved for a better experience with Voice-Over.
- Audio announcements during navigation have been improved. Audio from the feelSpace application should now work better with other applications. Also, new pieces of information are now communicated via audio announcement. For instance, the navigation mode is announced at the start of a navigation. Also, a audio announcement is now performed when the destination is reached and the navigation stops.
- Finally, known bugs have been fixed and multiple adjustments on labels have been performed.
Ratings and Reviews
Einfach zu bedienen, eine Hilfe im Alltag
Die feelSpace App in Verbindung mit dem NaviGürtel von feelSpace macht die blinden- und sehbehindertengerechte Navigation nochmal deutlich einfacher als zuvor! DIE App ist einfach zu bedienen, kommt mit wenig Elementen aus und kann auch über Siri gesteuert werden. Die Navigation mit dem Gürtel ist erstaunlich intuitiv. Bei der Routenführung gibt es etwas Verbesserungspotenzial, aktuell wird Apple Maps genutzt, was bei Fußgängernavigation nicht immer die optimalsten Routen findet. Ansonsten aber - wie gesagt v.a. in Verbindung mit dem Gürtel - zu empfehlen!
Einfach zu bedienende App
Die App ist super zu bedienen. Seit Apple das Kartenmaterial erneuert hat, hat sich meiner Meinung nach die Routenführung für Fußgänger verbessert. Ich finde es jetzt auch toll, dass sich der Gürtel gleich mit dem iPhone verbindet, wenn man die App startet. Auch die Möglichkeit der Navigation zu einem Favoriten per Siri Kurzbefehl begrüße ich sehr. Ich bin sehr gespannt, was noch so für Neuerungen am Start sind. Weiter so!
Funktioniert prima!
Einfache Handhabung. Funktioniert wie es soll.
