Aira VIS and Aira ASL Available to Museum Guests
Aira VIS
Aira VIS is a live, human-to-human professional assistance service for people who are blind or have low vision. Using the powerful combination of a camera and the Aira app on someone’s smartphone, a professionally-trained agent will assist by visually interpreting what is in the camera’s view or shared on screen, from describing to reading, from explaining to navigating – just about anything, safely and securely. Aira operates 24/7/365 in five countries worldwide and supports service wherever there is an internet connection.
Aira ASL
Aira ASL transforms communication in public spaces by offering remote, on-demand American Sign Language (ASL) interpreting. With just the tap of a button, you can instantly connect to a professional ASL interpreter through remote live video, with the option to enable real-time captioning. This service provides a comprehensive communication experience, efficiently bridging the gap between the Deaf community and hearing individuals.
Aira Apps are free to download and available on iOS and Android
Approaching ten million calls to date, in addition to colleges and universities, Aira is used by employees and customers of hundreds of organizations including airports, banks, the largest software companies, financial firms and retailers. Aira enhances independence, efficiency, and autonomy. Follow Aira on Facebook and YouTube, or learn more at www.aira.io.
