The problem

What gets in the way today.

University campuses are often large and difficult to navigate, particularly for new students, visiting families, guest lecturers, and international visitors. Buildings, lecture halls, accommodation blocks, and facilities can be spread across multiple sites with inconsistent signage.

During peak periods such as orientation weeks, open days, or large events, campus staff and reception desks become overwhelmed answering the same directional and informational questions repeatedly. At the same time, universities lack an easy way to communicate real-time updates about events, room changes, campus services, or safety information to people moving around the campus.

The solution

How Omnie Vox changes it.

Omnie Vox acts as a digital campus guide embedded in smart signage and kiosks across key university locations. Users can ask simple questions such as where to find lecture halls, libraries, student services, or transport links, and receive clear step-by-step directions in over 80 languages.

The system can also provide information on campus events, academic schedules, and facility availability, ensuring students and visitors always have access to up-to-date guidance. By reducing the burden on campus staff and providing a consistent information experience across the university, Omnie Vox improves accessibility, enhances the student experience, and helps campuses operate more efficiently.

More applications

Where else Omnie Vox works.

VOX KIT

The directional signs across your campus, answering in 80+ languages.

A university wayfinding kit from Omnie Vox fits inside the directional signage already standing across your campus: the fingerposts at path junctions, the directories inside faculty entrances, the boards outside the library. Each one becomes a sign that can be asked “where is lecture theatre B?” and answer in the student’s own language.

Room and timetable answers come from the university’s own data through AI Workflows in Vox Net. Neurodivergent students get calm, predictable guidance without approaching a stranger; international students are understood from day one; and estates keep the signage they have.

In practice

A campus estates team is replacing the graphics on sixty fingerposts over the summer. Vox Kit is fitted behind each panel during the changeover. By freshers’ week the signs have answered “where do I register?” several hundred times in eleven languages, and student services can see in Vox Net which buildings new students cannot find.

For every visitor

Multilingual, accessible and neurodiversity-friendly.

Compliance

Support for the standards and duties that shape accessible spaces.

Spoken, multilingual signage is a practical, documentable way to meet accessibility obligations, with Vox Net recording every interaction as evidence.

Legislation

Equality Act 2010

Requires service providers to make reasonable adjustments, in advance, so disabled people are not substantially disadvantaged. Voice-first signage is a documentable adjustment for visually impaired, dyslexic, neurodivergent and non-English-speaking visitors.

Standard

BS 8300:2018

The British Standard for accessible built environments asks for wayfinding information in more than one format, including audible. Spoken signage complements the tactile, Braille and high-contrast signs the standard already recommends.

Public sector

Public Sector Equality Duty

Section 149 of the Equality Act requires the NHS, universities, councils and transport authorities to actively advance equality and evidence it. Vox Net analytics give equality impact assessments and annual reports a measurable intervention to cite.

NHS

Accessible Information Standard

Mandatory for NHS and adult social care providers in England (DCB 1605), and monitored by the CQC. Requires information in formats people can understand, including audible and other-language formats. Omnie Vox meets this at scale, with an audit trail.

Building Regulations

Approved Document M

Part M of the Building Regulations requires reasonable provision for everyone to access and use a building, citing BS 8300 as its technical reference. Specifying Omnie Vox at design stage puts audible wayfinding in the inclusive-design package before sign-off.

Web

WCAG 2.2 AA & accessibility regulations

Vox App and the Vox Net control panel are keyboard operable, screen-reader friendly and high contrast, meeting the Public Sector Bodies Accessibility Regulations 2018 and ready for the European Accessibility Act.
