A growing demand from Australians with a vision impairment for more inclusive theatre experiences has resulted in Sydney-based digital accessible wayfinding startup BindiMaps launching its navigation app and platform for attendees of the Westpac OpenAir cinema in a bid to help movie lovers find their way around.

By delivering real-time navigation information via audio, text or map cues and audio directions optimised for people with vision impairment, the inclusive wayfinding mobile app enables people with a disability to navigate complex and unfamiliar indoor spaces like hospitals, multi-level office buildings, universities and shopping centres, or events like the Australian Open.
