<p class="MsoNormal">Hello friends,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Wishing you all a wonderful thanksgiving.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I share this news as a private citizen that Aira is available to everyone in the United States for the next 90 days. Just on time for your Holiday shopping!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Walmart is evaluating a long term deployment based on the usage and based on the perceived voice from the blind community. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Walmart is the #1 most asked for Access Partner in part because Walmart has great value, is a one-stop shop offering groceries, pharmacy, home, electronics etc. That said, the community wants autonomy and to browse and shop on their own
terms. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The short window of the pilot means that we have precious time to inform not just existing Aira Explorers but those who up to this point may have thought Aira was expensive or didn't have the store they wanted. I'd love to get more new
to Aira users to engage.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Walmart represents more than a win for Aira but another way for the nation if not the world to take notice of the blind and low vision community and that investments from companies like Walmart are important and valuable.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Enjoy your shopping experience and spread the news!<o:p></o:p></p>
