Making spaces accessible through tactile navigation for people with
visually impaired.

The Problem
Most environments weren’t built with accessibility in mind. Many public environments lack accessible navigation making it harder for disabled, neurodivergent, and visually impaired people to move independently.
2M people in the UK are Visually Impaired
Most spaces rely on visual cues, making navigation difficult for blind or partially sighted users.
1 in 7 people in the UK are Neurodivergent
Overstimulating environments can trigger anxiety, shutdown, or disengagement.
944K+ people in the UK live with Dementia
Cluttered or confusing spaces worsen disorientation and increase emotional distress.
1.9M+ learners in the UK have Special Educational Needs
Most attend mainstream schools with limited wayfinding support and few dedicated resources.
The Solution
A tactile wall-mounted navigation system, designed to guide people through spaces using touch, texture, and universally designed patterns.
Why Sensei
We believe that people with visual impairments, neurodivergent support needs, and learning differences can become active participants in everyday life through more accessible and inclusive spaces. Sensei’s tactile markers can help bridge the existing accessibility barriers.
Sensei empowers users to move confidently, regulate emotions, and participate more fully in daily life.
“What I really liked was the material was soft to touch but firm underneath, and it stuck to the wall really well, just right for our learners”

Hear from Our Community
“As an O&M specialists, I'm thrilled that the students have access to a resource that allows them to navigate independently without relying on a mobility cane. This is especially important for younger children who may not be ready for a cane yet. The fact that they can follow this system on their own is truly remarkable.”
- Angela Wood
(Chair, Habilitation VIUK)
“As a teacher who works with young children, I know how important it is to provide early support for those who are experiencing vision impairment. That's why I was so impressed by this system - it's a simple and immediate solution that can benefit children as young as two years old. It's amazing to see how quickly they can become more independent with this tool.”
