A bit of a chat around the Ultra Cane and Sonar Glasses which I'm having a look at in the next few weeks, and as usual, some other stuff smile.

In this weeks tech chat, we mainly focus on the "why would you want to use the Vision Pro in its current state", some things that would be nice for Apple to focus on, and other stuff smile.

Some fun outdoor demos to give you a few ideas for enjoying being out and about.

And of course, all available fromt eh Vision Australia Vision Store.

Have a listen, as I don't want to spoil the fun smile.

Loving the new upgrade to the Brailliant BIX40 which allows you to access books in my case from the Vision Australia library and enjoy daisy books, brf books (such as the Sydney Morning Herald), and my favourite podcast Talking Tech smile.

In this demo, I give you an overview of the Monarch hardware, and some of the software features.

Lots of great things to say about Android, some things I wish iOS would do that Android does, and some comments about overall accessibility of Android at least from a screen readers point of view.

Enjoy.
