The BayNet: Maryland Zoo Now Offers Free Vision Assistance App For Guests

BALTIMORE — Founded in 2019, ReBokeh Vision Technologies just announced a new partnership with The Maryland Zoo in Baltimore that will grant guests and employees free access to a mobile app that aids people with low vision. The ReBokeh app uses assistive technology software to change the appearance of the world in front of you to meet the needs of people with vision impairments.

ReBokeh will assist guests in reading animal plaques and restaurant menus, as well as other important text commonly displayed throughout the Maryland Zoo. Between penguins and red pandas, the Maryland Zoo features around 1,500 animals, and most of the exhibits have something to read, so ReBokeh’s technology will be invaluable for people with limited sight.
