On-Demand Eyes for the Blind
Aira combines AR + AI technology with human IQ to give legally blind people the augmented ability to access the entire visual world that sighted people take for granted. We do this by connecting them to a network of remote, highly-trained, AI-empowered agents. Aira’s mission is to provide equal access to the world, anywhere, anytime, for people of all abilities. We’re working with key partners to create cities that are smarter and more accessible, so its citizens can benefit from our life-changing service. And in the process, we’re creating smarter AI, built from real-world, superior data sources, ready to train the machines and robots of tomorrow.
