IN THE NEWS
Virtual Navigation & Orienteering
Microsoft Soundscape and Capital Region Nordic Alliance have formed a unique collaboration to bring the skills and expertise from both technology and adaptive sport management to create virtual orienteering for the blind/low vision population. Orienteering is the sport of using a map and compass to locate control points in an unfamiliar environment. Together Microsoft Soundscape and CRNA are opening new doors of adventure, discovery, and wellness to the blind/low vision population through both technology and its place in adaptive sports.
 
CRNA welcomes the opportunity to collaborate with other Move United members in creating and maintaining safe virtual navigation routes and orienteering wellness courses for not only the blind/low vision but the entire greater community.
