Know how a space may feel before you arrive
NeuroTapical provides sensory navigation for calmer, more predictable public spaces.
NeuroTapical helps neurodivergent and sensory-sensitive people check how public spaces may feel before they arrive — including noise, lighting, and calmer areas.
Launching with a library pilot, our goal is to make community spaces more predictable, accessible, and easier to navigate.
The Unpredictable Environment
Many neurodivergent people face sensory overload because public environments are hard to forecast. Flickering lights, sudden noise, and crowds make visiting local offices, schools, and community hubs stressful. We believe clear sensory information can help make public spaces more accessible, predictable, and welcoming for everyone.
The Solution
The Digital Navigation Shield is an intuitive platform providing live sensory metrics for public buildings. Before visiting, users can check whether a space is calm, moderate, busy, or high sensory load. This data empowers you to select the best time or route for your needs, ensuring you can navigate the world with greater agency and peace of mind.
How It Works
A simple three-step process designed to support personal agency and sensory confidence.
Check the Status
View current sensory information such as noise levels, lighting, and how busy different areas may feel before you arrive.
Choose Your Route
Explore calm spaces, quieter zones, and suggested routes so you can choose the environment that best suits your needs.
Visit with Confidence
Arrive with a clearer idea of what to expect, helping you feel more prepared, informed, and in control.
Who It Helps
NeuroTapical supports people who benefit from knowing what a space may feel like before they arrive.
Autistic Visitors
Helping people check sensory conditions in advance, reducing uncertainty and supporting personal choice.
Library & Public Service Staff
Providing team members with better tools to maintain a welcoming, predictable, and sensory-friendly atmosphere.
ADHD Users
Helping users find focus by identifying which areas are currently the calmest, dimmest, or least crowded.
Families & Carers
Assisting caregivers in planning outings with confidence by highlighting quiet hours and sensory-friendly zones.
The Future of Sensory Accessibility
NeuroTapical is moving beyond static accessibility information toward live environmental awareness. Future versions will use discreet IoT sensors to measure general noise levels and light levels in real time. This allows public spaces to share clear, practical sensory information before a visitor arrives. The aim is simple: help people make informed choices about when to visit, where to go, and which spaces may feel calmer.
NeuroTapical is built around predictability, agency, and inclusion.
The goal is to make public spaces easier to understand before people enter them.
Privacy by Design
NeuroTapical is designed to provide helpful sensory information without identifying or tracking individuals.
Environmental data only
The system measures general sound level in decibels and light level in lux at room or zone level, not at individual level.
No audio or video recording
NeuroTapical does not record conversations, voices, images, or video, and does not store any audio or visual files.
No personal tracking
The sensory monitoring system does not identify visitors, track individuals, or follow people through a building.
Clear and transparent
Pilot locations can include clear signage and simple privacy information so visitors know what is being measured and why.
“The goal is to make public spaces easier to understand, not to monitor the people using them.”
