How does Aira work?
By using the camera on your smartphone, a live video stream is sent to an Aira agent. Through an AI-powered dashboard, an Aira agent is able to immerse themselves in a blind or low-vision person’s world, seeing and hearing their environment. Agents also have access to web-based data, including maps, location tracking, search engines, text-based messaging and even rideshare integration - all carefully calibrated to provide blind and low-vision users with a seamless and positive experience.

What is Aira Access?
Aira Access is a turn-key solution for enhancing accessibility. Blind and low-vision people can use Aira’s service for free through our Aira Access Network, comprised of high profile businesses from airports to grocery stores, from pharmacies to special convention events, and more. With our growing Aira Access Network, there is an increasing number of opportunities to use Aira for free.
