Virtual Assistance – Aira and MagnusCards

Aira

Aira is a subscription-based program designed to help the visually impaired. Using a pair of video-equipped smart glasses and a touch of a button through an app, users are connected to a trained professional agent who can see the individual’s surroundings and guide them to their desired end location. In fast-paced environment such as airports, Aira allows passengers who are visually impaired act more independently in real time.
