Open the doors to greater independence with BlindSquare.
Now you can be part of Blind Square from your Sunu App and Sunu Band.
Enter the My Sunu Band tab and locate the BlindSquare option
Through this button, you can activate/deactivate the BlindSquare functions in Sunu App and Sunu Band.
Note:
This button will be automatically disabled if a connection problem is detected or if you are not yet a BlindSquare user.

• Where I am: Know your current location, the nearest intersection, and start to explore.

• Around me: By activating this function, explore the distance and location of the places around you, Blind Square will periodically announce the information of your surroundings during your journey. Remember that filters can be applied to provide only the information you are looking for so that you are not overwhelmed by details.

• Add place: BlindSquare not only notifies you of public points of interest around you, but it also lets you save your own private ones and informs you when you are near them. When you save points in BlindSquare, they appear in the My Places list. If you are at the location you want to save in BlindSquare, find the Add Place button on the main BlindSquare screen or enter the Sunu Band Menu and double-tap to add the place to your list. BlindSquare will automatically copy your current address or the name of the nearest intersection.

• Sleep/wake: Activate Wake to hear your exploration with voice service. Use Sleep when you don’t need to explore or just to disable voice service temporarily. Remember that you can activate it as many times as necessary.

• Weather: Know the weather information of the place where you are, the exact temperature, and the forecast of the day.
