About
Able Eyes provides virtual walk-thru tours of the inside of public spaces such as: parks, museums, hotels, restaurants, retail businesses, and more for the purpose of accessibility (helping people) and marketing (helping businesses).
Virtual tours allow customers of all abilities an opportunity to explore beforehand to decrease anxiety, but more importantly is a tool used by persons with disabilities to explore accessibility beforehand, making new experiences more comfortable and easily navigated.
***Able Eyes is not a rating tool or compliance assessment. This virtual tool is to help people make decisions and have wonderful experiences based on his/her own needs.

Able Eyes provides a user friendly platform to teach skills and explore environments from several different perspectives. Our ultimate goal is to increase the accessibility of businesses and public venues by offering visual walk through tours, making them “Able Eyes Accessible.”
