About the solution
When Suman met Matt Brock, a blind communications professional who had lost his sight at 33, they started brainstorming about how Google Glass technology could be used to help blind to be more mobile and independent.
Hoping to develop a sort of “OnStar” for the blind, the engineer built camera-equipped smart glasses that connect to virtual dashboards, allowing human agents to view and describe a user's environment. Agents typically respond to a summons in less than 10 seconds and assist for the duration of discrete tasks.
This is Aira, a service that mixes Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality. Thanks to a network of trained and professional agents, who work remotely, Aira can help blind people with any daily task.
Aira works by connecting blind people to trained agents who will help with any task. They can either download the smartphone app or buy a pair of Horizon Smart Glasses. Aira will connect the blind user to a professional who will help the blind person with any task, allowing them to be more efficient right away.
Aira has different plans for the user. After downloading the app, the person will be connected to a trained agent that will be explaining how everything works. After subscribing, the person will get access to the immediate aid of a professional.
Suman founded his own company, Aira Tech Corp.
