Hi, Interesting information shared by a friend in Israel on Facebook. Do the accessibility gurus on our list have any idea if the Indian counterparts have any plans to replicate this or devise something of their own? Mcdonald's of Israel becomes the first chain of restaurants in the country and in the world to be fully accessible for people with visual impairments. The initiative arises thanks to a cooperation agreement with the Israeli app righthear, which seeks to create solutions for blind people or difficulties to see. According to this agreement, technology is applied in the 180 subsidiaries of Mcdonald's in the country. Intelligent sensors have been installed at each headquarters, allowing the blind, through the app, to receive precise instructions to reach the counters, tables, bathrooms, etc., independently. Righthear, founded 3 years ago in raanana, is a free app that uses the voice to help guide people with visual impairments.
