Exciting news from Peachtree Corners!

The Forum Peachtree Corners is now using Hear2There audio signage to help blind and visually impaired visitors better understand and navigate the space around them.

Using the free Hear2There smartphone app, visitors can hear information about entrances, pathways, parking areas, restrooms, storefronts and other important locations throughout The Forum.

Jamestown, which oversees property management and retail leasing at The Forum, is helping make accessibility part of the welcoming experience the destination provides its visitors. The installation also supports the City of Peachtree Corners’ growing citywide accessibility initiative.

The Forum is one of the first major commercial destinations participating in the initiative, helping demonstrate what can happen when businesses and public spaces work together to create a more connected and accessible community.

We’re proud to partner with The Forum, Jamestown and the City of Peachtree Corners as this initiative continues to grow.

We’re excited to share that Hear2There (H2T) is now helping make the Carroll Center for the Blind campus easier to navigate—inside, outside, and beyond the campus grounds!

Our team installed H2T Waypoints across multiple buildings and spaces, including the Lulie Gund Center for Vision Rehabilitation, St. Paul’s residential dorms, the Rachel E. Rosenbaum Technology Center and its dorms, and the campus’s beautiful outdoor areas.

We also extended the installation to nearby bus stops, helping connect the campus with public transportation.

Using the H2T smartphone app, people who are blind or have low vision can receive timely, location-specific information to help them navigate with greater confidence and independence.

We’re honored to support the Carroll Center’s commitment to accessibility and its mission of empowering people at all stages of vision loss.

Exciting news from Newton, Massachusetts!

Hear2There (H2T) and the City of Newton have launched audio guidance technology at three of the city’s most-visited public buildings: Newton City Hall, Newton Free Library, and the Cooper Center.

With the free Hear2There app, people who are blind or visually impaired can receive location-based audio information about entrances, restrooms, elevators, service areas, and other important locations — helping them better understand and navigate these spaces independently.

This week, the H2T team is also providing training at all three locations, helping staff understand the technology and how it supports members of the blind and visually impaired community.

We’re proud to work with the City of Newton to make important community spaces more accessible.

Hello from St. Louis!

We’re attending the 2026 American Council of the Blind Conference and Convention, held just steps from the Gateway Arch and Mississippi River.

We’re learning more about ACB, enjoying conversations with people who are blind or visually impaired from across the country, and meeting many of the approximately 60 companies exhibiting at the convention.

For the H2T team, one of the most valuable parts of attending events like this is listening directly to the BVI community. These conversations help us continue learning how technology and location-based audio information can make public places more accessible.

We’re grateful to be here and look forward to many more conversations today and tomorrow!

Accessibility starts with awareness and awareness starts with understanding the language.

These terms shape how we create more inclusive experiences in public spaces, technology, and everyday life.

At Hear2There (H2T), we believe accessibility should be built into every interaction—not added later as an afterthought. The more we understand, the better we design.

Some accessibility myths are outdated.
Others were never true to begin with.

These misconceptions shape how spaces, technology, and experiences are designed every day.

The problem?
Myths create barriers.

At Hear2There (H2T), we believe accessibility should be proactive, intentional, and built into the foundation of every experience.

Because inclusion isn’t optional.
And accessibility isn’t a trend, it’s a responsibility.
