Introducing Aira (“eye-ra”), the 24/7 visual interpreter service for Clemson University. Aira connects blind and low-vision users with live Visual Interpreters through a free app available on iOS and Android devices. Download and install the app to get real-time visual information about your surroundings through your device's camera or by using Aira's desktop application. Thanks to geofencing technology, unlimited access to the app is made available to anyone visiting a Clemson University location. All Clemson University employees and students are eligible to receive a Linked Explorer account which provides free 24/7 access to Aira anywhere in the world.
