Aira Now Works with AI Glasses from Meta!

A woman walks on an urban street past picnic tables and trees. She wears black sunglasses and a blue long sleeve shirt.

Aira now works with AI glasses from Meta, introducing a new hands-free way to access professional Visual Interpreting.

Through the Aira Explorer app, users can connect their AI glasses from Meta and stream live video to a professional Visual Interpreter who provides real-time visual information and works with callers to complete tasks. 

This integration allows blind and low vision users to access visual information while keeping their hands free.

A New Hands-Free Way to Use Aira

Aira has long helped people access visual information through smartphones and computers. The integration with AI glasses from Meta introduces a more natural way to use the service while moving through everyday environments and is available on both iOS and Android. 

Users can connect with interpreters while navigating public spaces, shopping in stores, completing tasks at home, or reviewing printed materials. The camera is built into the glasses, so calls can be hands-free for the user. 

What Happens During a Call

When a call begins, the camera in AI glasses from Meta streams live video to a professional Aira Visual Interpreter. The interpreter can see what the camera sees and provide real-time visual information as tasks unfold. During a session, interpreters may capture photos or rotate the video image when needed to better understand what the camera is showing.
