WayAround is an NFC-based information system that works with an app on your Android or iOS based smart device. It gives on-demand details about everyday things, just by scanning a smart tag placed on any object.

We are big fans of labeling, no matter what kind of label you use. WayAround lets you store much more information than traditional labels do. The description can be many paragraphs long (up to 2K characters). Our smart fields let you add other details, too, like expiration dates, ingredients, laundering instructions, and more.

WayAround was created by Blind InSites, LLC, a company started by two architects with vision loss. Learn more about our founders, Darwin and Armand.

Yes, and it's here! WayAround 3.0, released in Fall 2019, included WayAround for Public Spaces. This powerful software gives anyone the ability to write public information. It's great for schools, universities, museums, municipalities, and facilities that want to provide better information for everyone, especially those with vision loss.

Absolutely! Even though WayAround was created for people with vision loss, sighted people can benefit from our smart information system. Like many products that have been created with accessibility in mind, WayAround's focus on an easy experience for those with vision loss results in a product that’s intuitive and useful for everyone.
