Legally blind Stockton dad uses augmented reality app to help him ‘see’
The app allows him to call a trained agent who then in real-time is able to tell him what he's seeing either through the camera on his phone or through specially made glasses.
"For the things that we can't see, their job is to describe it," Hy, 40, explained. "They don’t give us an opinion or anything, their job is to describe things and tell us what it looks like."
Aira agents are on-call and available from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. (PDT). They can help with anything from reading papers to navigating a new street to shopping.
