Aira

Aira's name stems for AI (Artificial Intelligence) and RA (Remote Assistance), which pretty much sums what the company is all about. Its smart system aims to give legally blind people the augmented ability to access the entire visual world that sighted people take for granted. It does that by combining wearables technology, AI and AR with a network of remote, highly-trained agents. Through a mobile app, or through an optional pair of Horizon Smart Glasses, Aira delivers instant access to visual information at the touch of a button — enhancing everyday efficiency, engagement and independence. Whether the user is a person who is blind or low vision, an older adult, or a sighted individual - Aira provides access to information in ways that augment human capabilities like never before. In addition to consumers, the company is also targeting businesses such as retailers, airports, supermarket chains, campuses, and sports venues — with its Aira Access product for enhancing accessibility for blind low-vision people.
