Microsoft Soundscape is a free app that provides travellers who are blind or have low vision with information about places around them in the environment. Soundscape enables you to set audio beacons at familiar destinations and landmarks, and then use 3D audio cues to improve your ambient awareness as you make your way to the destination. As you walk, Soundscape will help you stay aware of where you are by calling out roads and landmarks as you pass them.

Join us for a technology workshop all about Microsoft Soundscape on Thursday, August 8 from 4 to 6 p.m. at CNIB Calgary.

Please be advised that you must register for all programs. We kindly ask you to RSVP a minimum of 1 full business day before the start of the program.

Registration required. To register, please complete the CNIB Auto Registration Form.
