NaviLens Technology

In 2025 the city of Boise installed 16 NaviLens Codes throughout the Boise WaterShed Environmental Education Center. This innovative system uses high-contrast, long-distance scannable specialized QR codes that provide:

  • Real-time spoken and text navigation and interpretive content
  • ASL interpretation
  • Multiple language translations

Boise is now the first museum in the United States to implement NaviLens for public use— marking a milestone in accessible design and effective communication.
