Listen along during this Blinded Veterans Association’s VetTech episode as we learn from Jessica Hipp, WayAround’s chief operating officer, and Neva Fairchild, a veteran vision rehabilitation professional and WayAround user. WayAround is more than just a smart NFC tagging system for the blind. It is a powerful indoor orientation tool–like alt-text for the physical world. Participants at BVA’s 78th National Convention will experience both sides of WayAround. The result? Doing more of the things you want, with more confidence and more independence.
Do not miss this VetTech session in which participants will learn:
- Overview of WayAround;
-
-
- How you can use WayAround in your daily lives; and
- How WayAround will be used to enhance the accessibility of BVA’s 78th National Convention.

All VetTech sessions are open to everyone—blinded and low vision veterans, family members, caregivers, blind rehabilitation specialists and all other parties interested in the assistive, adaptive, and accessible technologies that can empower our independence.
