The Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is rolling out a free app to help make travel easier, especially for the visually impaired.
The ReBokeh app connects travelers to assistive technology software through their phones’ live camera, which can help make signs and screens around the airport easier to read.
“If you point your phone toward those displays, you could get an audio read out as far as what you’re looking at and you can actually ask it questions," said Ira McCullough with the City of Phoenix.
Phoenix Deer Valley Airport and Phoenix Goodyear Airport will also offer the free service.
