eZwayZ, inclusive indoornavigation app
Developed by Atsence
Since 2019, Atsence has been developing the inclusive indoor navigation app eZwayZ (easy ways) in collaboration with Bartiméus, the Dutch expertise center for people with visual impairments. The patent has been granted to Atsence, and the app has been extensively tested with a wide range of user groups.
In 2023, the iOS version of eZwayZ was successfully launched, and from Q2 2025 the Android version will also be available. Feedback from users, government bodies, building owners, and employers has been overwhelmingly positive. We are proud to have received the Computable Innovation Award 2022, the Vodafone Ziggo PPP Award, and multiple nominations for other prestigious prizes.
