Innovative app makes park nature trail accessible – North Lanarkshire Council

A new nature trail at Strathclyde Country Park is accessible to people with a visual impairment thanks to an innovative new app.

The myEyes app uses cutting-edge technology to assist individuals with visual impairments and mobility difficulties to move around locations such as museums, shopping malls, parks, stations and airports.

It was developed by Filipe Almeida Silva, a Portuguese neuroscientist based in Lisbon who formed iKi Technologies in Glasgow and Self Energy Ltd based in the UK and Portugal.

The companies worked with our Greenspace team to apply the app to a nature trail recently created at the Bellshill Gateway within Strathclyde Country Park.
