Genoa Services empowers blind persons to achieve independence and mobility with collaborative guidance and companionship from sighted guides via the Internet. Working as a supplement to their cane and/or guide dog, Genoa Services guides enable the blind to perform everyday tasks.

Even with the assistance of a smart guide dog, blind people can’t find products on shelves, read signs, or check food for ripeness. Now – with Genoa Services – they can do these things and many more. 

Counting Change with Genoa Glasses

Blind end-users wear light-weight, hands-free equipment that connects wirelessly to sighted guides via the Internet. Guides, who can be anywhere with an Internet connection, see what blind end-users are looking at, but cannot see.

Working collaboratively, guides assist blind end-users with tasks anywhere there is a wireless signal and access to the Internet, providing the blind with true independence and mobility.
