Sendero Group begins testing indoor wayfinding app, seeking local field testers in Chicago and Baltimore


Sendero group, recent recipient of a grant from National Institute of Disability, Independent Living and Rehabilitation Research, is prototyping an app to aid with the often hectic navigation in large in door spaces such as malls or airports.

Participants will receive a $50.00 stipend, and potentially be reimbursed for up to $50.00 for travel costs.
