MABLE MAPS
MABLE (Mapping for Accessible Built Environments) makes large indoor environments accessible for people with disabilities (PWD), enabling participation in large events, conferences, and educational programs. Utilizing Crowdsourcing, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Robotics, MABLE populates and creates a real-time responsive map. Available and usable through a digital app, MABLE makes indoor environments more accessible for people with disabilities.
How it Works
From a scanned space to a personalized route.
Three steps take a building from unmapped to fully navigable for every visitor.
MABLE scans your space in just a few hours, no alteration to the venue required.
The MABLE team scans the space
An accurate model of the space is generated and incorporated into MABLE’s data, optimizing for the best routes.
Digital maps and model are generated
User’s map is generated according to their needs, assisting them with personalized information and directions.
Users explore or navigate with personalized guidance
Benefits
MABLE serves the organizations that run a space and the people who move through it — each with what they actually need.
Value for both sides of the door.
