UPDATED Glide - A New Robot Mobility Device from Glidance | Epic A11y Podcast

Glide is a new mobility aid that's being developed by Glidance. It has a long adjustable handle, and as you push it it steers you. At the bottom it has big wheels and a core that houses all the robotics and tech. It has cameras and sensors for obstacle detection with AI capabilities, haptic feedback on the handle, and other features that make it a possible alternative to the white cane or the guide dog. In this Epic Ally Podcast, I interview the CEO of Glidance, Amos Miller and get his full insight on the concept behind Glide and what the experience could be like to use it. He shares his thoughts and challenges with other mobility devices and wearables as a blind person and more. Stay tune till the end where I share my thoughts about Glide!
