Aira is a service that connects blind and low-vision people to highly trained, remotely-located agents through an app on a smartphone, or through an optional pair of Horizon Smart Glasses. Students, staff and guests at all NOVA campuses are able to call in to live Aira agents to get visual information to assist with finding the correct building, navigating obstacles, and attending events.
