Selfies are the most popular travel souvenir. A moment to share, keep and relive. But how do you take a selfie if you can’t see where you’re standing? Selfie for All makes the fun of successful selfies accessible to everyone.
What is Selfie for All?
Under the name ‘Selfie for All’, tactile tiles at various locations in Flanders show you where to stand and which direction to turn the camera in order to take a successful selfie. If you're a blind or visually impaired visitor, it helps you take a snapshot independently at some of the most amazing spots in Flanders, including Tervuren Park, with the AfricaMuseum in the background. But Selfie for All is of course designed for everyone; whether you’re a passer-by or an enthusiastic traveller, you can use it free of charge!
How does it work?
- Go to the tile in the park (see the map on the right). If you are blind or visually impaired, NaviLens will help you find the exact spot. Download the NaviLens app to have the information read aloud, or NaviLens GO to read it on your screen.
- The tile has two raised footprints. Stand on them. The AfricaMuseum is now behind you.
- Face the camera and place yourself in the centre of the frame. If you can see well enough, check this on your screen. If you use speech technology, your phone can help you.
- Ready? Say cheese ... and click.
