Case Study: Haptic achieves 90% improved app accessibility with Mapbox

Haptic improves app accessibility by 90% with Mapbox

Haptic, a pioneer in tactile navigation technology, faced the challenge of creating accessible navigation for users with visual impairments. They needed to overcome a lack of precise sidewalk data in maps and technological constraints like GPS accuracy to build a reliable pedestrian navigation system. To solve this, they partnered with vendor Mapbox and utilized its Navigation SDK and Geocoding API.

The solution implemented by Mapbox provided unique sidewalk differentiation technology and sophisticated in-app routing. This integration allowed Haptic to seamlessly add precise, turn-by-turn vibrational guidance to its application. The partnership resulted in a 90% improvement in app accessibility for visually impaired users and empowered them with greater safety and independence.
