Aira is a visual interpreter and navigation system for people who are blind or visually impaired, which connects users with sighted employees who can help answer questions or aid in navigation. You can use the Aira app to connect to an Aira agent, who can then see through your devices camera and see your position on a GPS app. From there, you can do whatever you want!
What's even better is that Aira is free in many places now, and this includes the Milwaukee County Transport system. If you need to get public transportation in Milwaukee, you can use Aira for free when traveling to and from your destination! Listen to the podcast to find out more.
