Council authorizes AOC to explore AIRA access partnership for people with blindness
Summary
The Council unanimously authorized the Administrative Office of the Courts to explore becoming an AIRA access partner, allowing the Judiciary to fund AIRA sessions at court locations; staff said geofencing identifies general locations and Colorado reported no security concerns.
The Maryland Judicial Council authorized the Administrative Office of the Courts to explore becoming an AIRA access partner, a mobile application that offers visual interpretation services to people who are blind by using a phone camera and remote agents. Judge Michael W. Siri presented the recommendation on behalf of the Court Access Committee and the Council passed the authorization unanimously.
Pamela Ortiz and Ksenia Boitsova explained technical details and security considerations. Ms. Ortiz noted that AIRA uses geofencing to identify general locations rather than detailed floor plans, and Ms. Boitsova said contacts in Colorado reported no security concerns from their experience as an access partner.
