Welcome one and all to another fantastic Tech Connect episode brought to you by the Vision Forward Association! Our Assistive Technology Specialists: Cory and Luke, are excited to showcase the free service What 3 Words which is used to easily share and save any 10ft square anywhere on the globe!

Cory and Luke are playing frisbee golf at their local park. What could possibly go wrong!

The What 3 Word's system works regardless of Wi-Fi or Bluetooth and the best part is you don't even need to describe your surroundings! This makes it ideal for loads of situations but it is especially useful for Blind or Low Vision individuals who may have more difficulty providing those details.

The use cases of such a service vary widely. Homeowners can mark specific locations on their property, or you might choose to save the exact location of a few benches in an open park. Maybe you find yourself in a busy urban environment, like a convention hall? Not to worry! If you ever get lost you can easily pull up What 3 Words and share your specific location so that folks know where to find you.
