Afternoon at the Museum
San Diego Zoo and Safari Park
We are very proud to share this week’s show with the CSUN Assistive Technology Conference virtual audience. A cavalry of agents show how Aira can enrich your navigation and on-line experience with zoos and animal-related information as we travel through the world-famous San Diego Zoo’s live cams. We’ll even answer the age-old question “What does the fox say?”
