The upcoming Abilities Expo in Dallas—taking place December 5-7 at Dallas Market Hall—is raising the accessibility bar for attendees who are blind or have low vision by adopting the innovative platform RightHear.
RightHear: Innovative Audio Navigation for Blind/Low Vision Attendees
RightHear offers talking signage that empowers venues to deliver audio-based orientation to people with visual impairment. According to its website, the system provides talking signage, so everyone can interpret and understand their surroundings in real time. The solution is designed to work seamlessly across indoor and outdoor spaces, and is easy both for venue operators to install and for users to employ.
By implementing RightHear at Abilities Expo Dallas, we are addressing a key barrier many people face at events of this size: navigating unfamiliar space, finding exhibitor booths, locating restrooms or demo areas, and accessing that “micro-map” of the show floor in a way that doesn’t rely solely on sight. With the audio guidance and orientation support of RightHear, blind and low-vision attendees can gain greater independence, confidence and enjoyment — rather than constantly asking for direction or feeling uncertain where to go.
Why RightHear Assistive Technology Matters for the Disability Community
Beyond the practical navigation benefits, this enhancement sends a strong message: that accessibility is not a specialist add-on, but a core part of the Abilities Expo experience. It communicates that all attendees matter equally, that we are thoughtful about inclusion for folks of varying disabilities, and that the show floor is open and inviting to a wider community.
For exhibitors, sponsors and partners, this is also an opportunity. A venue considered for accessibility draws a broader audience and it signals to attendees that the event values diverse attendees and accommodates different needs. It means the expo can deliver a stronger mission impact, more meaningful engagement and a richer experience for all. RightHear itself highlights that its system helps venues “meet ADA standards,” “increase visibility” among blind/low-vision communities, and “welcome more visitors” by helping them find their way easily.
Location-Based Audio Guidance Boosts Independence
Attendees planning to visit Abilities Expo Dallas should know that the event is not just accessible—it is forward-leaning. Whether you’re a person who is blind or low vision, a caregiver, an occupational therapist, an exhibitor, or simply someone passionate about inclusive design and technology, this year’s show promises to bring something meaningful. The addition of RightHear is one more reason to attend: you’ll navigate confidently, linger longer, and explore with more ease.
