CRIS Solution
CRIS Radio’s partnership with the Connecticut Museum of Culture and History is to create enhanced access to the museum’s exhibits with a smartphone audio tour for visitors of all abilities, including individuals with blindness, low vision, and other print disabilities, such as dyslexia and neurodivergence disorders. Visitors are invited to listen to the museum’s “talking exhibits” by scanning QR Codes displayed at the exhibits with their smartphones.
