Aira is monthly subscription service for blind and visually impaired people. Using a pair of smart glasses or a phone camera, the system allows an Aira agent to see what the blind person sees in real-time, and then talk them through whatever situation they’re in. Aira promises to make everything from grocery shopping, calling an Uber or world travel more accessible for blind people across the globe. Aira doesn’t replace existing assistance systems. Instead, it’s designed to enhance them. A blind person navigates the world using whatever tools she normally would, such as a cane or guide dog, and calls the Aira agent only when needed. When the agent picks up, he or she sees a live video feed and the location of the person calling on Google Maps, alongside general biographical information.
From exploring new neighborhoods and restaurants in the city, to traveling the globe - Aira empowers individuals who have low vision or are blind to experience their world and surroundings like never before.
