Today is ! 👀 Sight changes everything, and this morning we celebrated the launch of ReBokeh at the Zoo, an accessibility tool for guests with low vision. The free app uses your phone’s camera to magnify, adjust colors and contrast, read signage, and provide descriptions of animals and habitats in real time. Thanks to our partners at ReBokeh and AARP Maryland, ReBokeh is now available for unlimited use throughout the Zoo!

It wouldn’t be without Nova & Nita. 🏆🐻
