Travelers who are blind or have low vision now have access to Aira, an assistive technology when they visit Winnipeg Richardson International Airport.
Through a mobile app or smart glasses, Aira connects users to Aira agents. Those agents are able to view a user’s environment through mobile phone cameras and describe objects, read signage, provide navigation, take and label photos and more.
In a news release, the Winnipeg Airport Authority said Richardson International is only the second airport in Canada to offer the technology.
