Polara’s iDX/iNX Audible Information Devices are devices that provide auditory, visual, and vibrotactile information to pedestrians who are blind or who have low vision, who may also have hearing loss, so they can know when they should begin to cross at a non-signalized pedestrian crossing.

At some point, nearly everyone will face an injury or disability that limits their mobility.
