If you’ve been with Aira since the early days, you probably know Carlo. 💙

Carlo started as a Visual Interpreter and, for long-time users, you might have worked with him to navigate through a store or solve a tricky task. When the Customer Care team formed, Carlo was one of the first to jump in and build it from the ground up.

Over nearly a decade, he’s become known for his problem-solving style and his calm presence. His favorite kind of call: the very first one. That moment when someone tries Aira for the first time and experiences the independence and empowerment it can bring.

Expanded Access in Manitoba, Canada! 🏛️

The Manitoba Museum is now offering Aira Explorer, free for all visitors who are blind or have low vision. Whether you're navigating galleries, reading exhibit signs, or getting oriented, Visual Interpreters are just a tap away.

The Museum tested Aira Explorer with blind and low vision guests in late 2025. Their feedback was overwhelmingly positive. Thanks to a grant from the Province of Manitoba, this service is now available across the Museum, the Royal Manitoba Theatre Centre, and Manitoba Centennial Concert Hall.

The Manitoba Museum is, "An adventure waiting to unfold." With Aira Explorer, it's an adventure accessible to all.

Aira at the 2025 NYC Blind Travel Foundation Media Weekend!

Aira is proud to sponsor the 2025 Blind Travel Foundation, providing visual interpreting minutes for grant winners' travel projects. We joined grant winners, co-sponsors (Two Blind Brothers & Feeldom), and the BTF team for a weekend of connection and exploration.

A highlight was a tactile tour of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, enhanced by Aira's geofencing for free visual interpreting and AI. The tour brought exhibits to life through visuals, textures, and an amazing guide.

We're excited for our third year partnering with this impactful organization and eager to follow upcoming projects, including an accessible outdoor guide, a blind music education podcast, and a video series on blind history. Learn more: https://www.blindtravel.org/

🎉 Aira is transforming shopping experiences at Walmart! One Explorer said, "I just used Aira at the Jacksonville Florida Walmart... and was able to navigate the entire store very well. I think that’s the first time in 20 years I have walked through a Walmart completely independently."

As the pilot program continues in California, Texas, and Florida, we’re looking forward to hearing more stories of independence and accessibility #OnYourTerms.
