Navigating as a blind or visually impaired person can be challenging at times. Glide, a new mobility aid, aims to help you navigate with ease. Using a handle, two wheels, and cameras equipped with Wayfinding technology, Glide works to guide the user around obstacles, provides navigation to a specific route, and much more.

 

While attending the 2024 National Convention of the National Federation of the Blind in Orlando Florida, Blind Abilities podcast host Simon Bonenfant had the opportunity to try Glide for himself. Back in the virtual studio, he caught up with Amos Miller, Founder and CEO of Glidance, to discuss the evolution and capabilities of the product, the opportunity to pre-order your own Glide, hopes for the future of navigation, and more.

 

From the Glidance Website: “Glide is a pioneering AI-powered mobility aid designed to help people in the blind and low vision community navigate with confidence, comfort, and ease.

Our Sensible Wayfinding technology autonomously guides, avoids obstacles, stays on a safe path, and helps you get to your destination. We believe that freedom of mobility is a right; not a luxury. That’s why we’re on a mission to break down barriers to independent movement for everyone. Join us!
