Episode 110 - A Conversation with Dr. Bryan Wolynski About What He Saw At This Year's CES

It is an all new That Real Blind Tech show. Brian and Ed are joined by Dr. Bryan Wolynski, CTO Lighthouse Guild to discuss this year's CES conference that Bryan attended in Las Vegas.   We start the show discussing an Australian visually impaired woman being refused a drink at an Australian hotel. This leads to a conversation about why the general public treats people differently that use a white cane compared to walking with a guide dog.   Navilens is partnering with Kellogg to bring accessibility to its cereal boxes.   Linkedin has announced a bunch of accessibility improvements coming in 2023. We discuss the benefits of being on Linkedin, and this leads to a conversation of Dr. Bryan using VoiceOver on his phone for two weeks.   We then briefly discuss the new Book Share app  and our thoughts of it.   Twitter not surprisingly have interrupted service on some third party Twitter clients, notably Twitterrific and Tweet Bot. The MuskButt is at it again.   We then dive in to why Bryan is here, and start discussing his experience and what he saw of interest at this year's CES. Brian with a capital B and lower case I had a brain fart about what CES stands for.   Bryan tells us about the expanding landscape at CES for assistive technology, and we find out if CES will ever grow in to a competitor of CSUN.   Wearables are all the rage these days so we discuss the smart glass technology that Bryan got to check out at CES. Brian got his hands on a pair of the Celeste Glasses which we had their Developers on a few shows ago to discuss.    Next up we discuss autonomous vehicles. They are coming and there is nothing you can do to stop it! And forget about self driving cars, what about a flying car?   We then discuss some of the stranger things that were at CES.   Bryan then tells us about some of the sessions he attended at CES.   And it would not be 2023 if we didn't discuss Matter.   And to hear more about Bryan's adventures at this year's CES make sure to tune in to his Facebook Live this Thursday, January 19, 2023 at 3pm Eastern time on the Lighthouse Guild's Facebook page.   And it's more of Watcha Streaming, Watcha Reading.   To contact That Real Blind Tech Show, you can email us at [email protected], join our Facebook Group That Real Blind Tech Show, join us on the Twitter @BlindTechShow , or leave us an old school phone message at 929-367-1005.   We then touch on a few of the main stream tech items Bryan got to check out.
