Universal by design.
We don't design for a majority and then think about who's left out. We start with the people who were always left out and, from there, we build for everyone.

§ About NaviLens
Information
isn't searched for, it's found.
Who we are
We believe in a world that's understood without effort. Where moving, finding your way and getting access don't depend on your abilities, but on design. NaviLens isn't just technology: it's the conviction that accessibility isn't added — it's planned from the start.
What drives us
Three ideas behind
everything we do.
02
Accessible from the very first moment.
Accessibility isn't a layer added at the end. It's the initial decision. That's why NaviLens works where other systems fail: in motion, at a distance, without needing to focus.
03
Built with the people who use it.
Every technical decision has gone through the voice of the people it serves. It's not a slogan: it's what has made NaviLens, today, a tool people actually use.
Leadership
Leading NaviLens
Lorenzo has led NaviLens from the beginning with one clear conviction: technology only matters when it opens doors. Under his direction, the team has taken environmental reading to more than 30 countries, always keeping users at the centre.

Our story
Twenty years arriving
at the same place.
NaviLens wasn't born in 2017. It began much earlier, in an intuition that took years to find its shape.
- 01 · 2005
An intuition.
Visitor centre · Camino de Santiago When phones were only good for calls and text messages, we were already thinking about how they could become tools for people who are blind or deaf. From Murcia, we built software for big companies, but we devoted part of our time to that other problem: how to put the camera at the service of those who can't see.
- 02 · 2012
A concrete question.
Retail · Long-distance reading We started researching, side by side with the computer vision group at the University of Alicante, how to get a phone to read information from several metres away, in motion, without focusing. Five years of prototypes, conversations with blind people's associations and a lot of discarding.
- 03 · 2017
Launch.
Farmacia Sirera · Smart wayfinding NaviLens is born: a code system designed from minute one for people who are blind, capable of being read at a distance, in motion and without needing to focus. It started as a solution for very few. We soon understood it served many, many more.

What's next
We keep asking ourselves
the same question.
How do we make information reach those who need it most, sooner? If that question moves you too, let's talk.
