Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport Partners with ReBokeh to Provide Free Assistive Technology for Travelers

PHX is the first airport in the Southwest partnering with ReBokeh to empower the 90% of people with low vision who retain functional sight to travel with independence

PHOENIX – Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport is launching an accessibility partnership with Baltimore-based ReBokeh^Ⓡ Vision Technologies to offer free access to ReBokeh’s assistive technology software for people with low vision. The partnership will provide all PHX travelers and staff with free, unlimited access to ReBokeh, a mobile app-based assistive technology software that helps people with low vision to adjust the appearance of the world around them in order to fit their specific needs. With this partnership, PHX becomes the first airport in the southwestern United States to offer ReBokeh’s sole-source technology. The partnership will also include Deer Valley Airport (DVT) and Goodyear Airport (GYR), both of which are owned and operated by the City of Phoenix.

Designed by and for the low-vision community, ReBokeh is built to serve the 90% of blind and low-vision individuals who retain some functional sight. The mobile app-based software takes an empowerment-centric approach to assistive technology, providing a tool that allows low-vision individuals to use the vision they have rather than replacing it with audio or tactile descriptions.

“This partnership with ReBokeh reflects our dedication to expanding accessibility through innovation, and we’re proud that Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport, America’s Friendliest Airport^®, is leading the way in creating a more inclusive travel experience for people with low vision,” Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego said. “The City of Phoenix is committed to ensuring that every traveler has the resources they need to navigate our airports with confidence and independence."

ReBokeh’s technology works by allowing users to leverage the live camera feed from their mobile devices with overlayed, customized filters that adjust aspects like contrast, color hue, zoom and lighting to meet the needs of low-vision users. ReBokeh AI, a brand-new feature, also offers the opportunity for lengthened interactions with ReBokeh’s custom-built AI tool. Users can ask ReBokeh AI personalized questions like what’s around them and what they’re seeing.

“This partnership truly makes travel more independent. As someone with hearing loss, I rely on visual information even more when I travel,” said District 3 Councilwoman and City Council Transportation, Infrastructure and Planning Subcommittee Chair Debra Stark. “ReBokeh gives our travelers confidence the moment they walk into the airport, which can be empowering to people with disabilities who may fear traveling. I’m grateful our City is taking steps that help people like me travel independently and with less anxiety.”

“By providing customizable, visual tools and AI-powered navigation—at no cost to passengers—we’re removing barriers and giving travelers greater confidence and comfort,” said District 1 Councilwoman Ann O’Brien. “This is about making sure every person can navigate our airports safely, seamlessly, and with dignity.”

Low-vision travelers can leverage ReBokeh at PHX in countless ways: reading navigational signs and gate information, clarifying arrival and departure monitors, or finding their favorite restaurant, shop, or lounge. ReBokeh AI also works in multiple languages and will default to whichever language is selected in the user’s general mobile device settings, allowing ReBokeh AI to work as a translation tool for signage, information, and visual surroundings.

“Traveling with low vision can present unique challenges, particularly when it comes to navigating a busy airport,” said Rebecca Rosenberg, the low-vision founder and CEO of ReBokeh. “We’re thrilled that Phoenix Airport is doubling down on its commitment to accessibility by leveraging ReBokeh’s technology to build a more independent and enjoyable experience for travelers with low vision.”
