Rokid Style Smart Glasses Real World Test

In episode 298 of iCantCU, I share a personal update on Ziggy's ongoing lymphoma treatments and the unexpected emergency caused by a corn cob that may require surgery. It's been an emotional and stressful few days, and I wanted to bring everyone up to speed. I also take a deep dive into the Rokid Style smart glasses after using them during a trip to Baltimore.

I also talk about: Recording video while traveling as a blind creator Smart glasses and privacy concerns AI navigation features and step-by-step directions Why glare is still a major issue for low vision users Google's upcoming AI glasses Apple's rumored smart glasses Why I still think Ray-Ban Meta currently has the edge Listen to the episode and learn more at https://www.iCantCU.com/298/  Links Mentioned Product links are affiliate links so that I may earn a commission.
