[Electronics-Talk] aira vs be my eyes

[Andy Baracco]

It's like comparing a Volkswagen to a Mercedes. With Be My Eyes, you are 
dealing with volunteers, and are limited to the field of vision of the 
camera lens on the phone. With AIRA you have the additional field of vision 
provided by the glasses. You also are dealing with paid trained staff, who 
in addition to having the image provided by the glasses, also have access to 
additional location data provided by resources like Google maps, Google 
places, and Google Earth. They are really two different resources. in other 
words, you get what you pay for.
