Moshfique Ahmed, a visually impaired cricketer, tried a new navigation app called Waymap at Lord's cricket ground. This technology features a personal GPS setup designed to assist blind and disabled fans in accessing sports events more effectively. Waymap scanned the stadium with high-resolution cameras to create a detailed digital map, allowing precise instructions for navigation. Ahmed expressed optimism about how such innovations could open doors for more visually impaired individuals to enjoy sports, although he noted some minor inaccuracies during his first use of the app.
Waymap, the company behind the app-based navigation tool, claims the 31,000-capacity cricket stadium is the world's first sports arena to be fitted with a personal GPS.
If it works 100% properly, I can come to the train station myself, I can cross the road myself and I can come to the stadium and find my way with the app.
