The start of every academic year is pivotal — first buildings, first classrooms, first steps on campus. The big question: “Where do I go?”

With more than 27,000 students — including 8,000 first-year students — Lumière Lyon 2 University faces a major challenge: helping everyone easily find their way around a vast, complex campus spread across 26 buildings.

The pilot phase of the Lille metro deployment is going perfectly. The first stage is a great success.

Our teams have supervised the seven testers on a guidance experience between 2 metro stations. The Evelity application was praised by this first panel of testers made up of visually impaired people. This is obviously the most complex panel to guide. And yet, no less than 100% of the testers validated the use and benefits of such a solution within the Lille network. But that's not all, because they all want Evelity to be used in facilities and buildings beyond public transport and the metro in particular.

So the project is on the right track, no pun intended! 

Lyon's university medical campus was the scene of Evelity's first field tests in early 2019. At the initiative of this laboratory of experiments: the Institute of Training in Physiotherapy for the Visually Impaired (IFMKDV), on the Rockefeller site. 

One year after the deployment of our all-disability indoors guidance solution, Nathalie Rivaux, the director of the institute, tells us about Evelity and its use by students in the Rockefeller University buildings!
