[Athen] Experiences with Aira

[George Kerscher]

Hi
 
I have been using the AIRA service for about a year and now have the new
generation glasses. When in the Minneapolis airport and in the Hyatt at
CSUN, the service was free to use for subscribers and for guests as well. I
believe that those companies provide the service. It seems that using this
same concept, a university could provide it.
 
Certainly it would be helpful in getting from place to place, especially
learning new routes. I am not clear on the effectiveness in a classroom
situation; humm, labs may be interesting. It is worth exploring.
 
Best
George

Good afternoon all,
 
I am curious if anyone has any experiences in using Aira (aira.io
<https://aira.io/> ) with students who are blind, specifically on an
institution level. We have one student utilizing a personal subscription in
the classroom with seemingly great success, and we are curious if this might
be a worthwhile investment for all of our students to utilize. Any
information you are able to provide would be greatly appreciated.
 
Thank you very much.
