Kia ora Mosen At Largers.

HumanWare has launched a new generation of Brailliant Braille displays. They are notable not only for what they do out of the box today, but also for the tantalising promise of some great future features thanks to some very capable hardware.

I speak with Andrew Flatres, who manages the Brailliant product line at HumanWare, and Peter Tucic, who’s the Braille Ambassador for HumanWare in the US.

Then I give you a comprehensive review of the Brailliant BI20X, which HumanWare sent me to review.

January 27, 2021 Episode 92: Interview with Microsoft Seeing AI founder Saqib Shaikh, and a walk around Mosen Towers to demonstrate Seeing AI's World Channel
Microsoft's free Seeing AI app helps blind and low vision iPhone and iPad users with visual tasks. And now, it's added lidar for Pro Apple devices that come with the feature.
I speak with Microsoft Seeing AI's founder, Saqib Shaikh, a blind person himself who came up with a practical solution to tackle many of the visual tasks we as blind people face daily. We talk about Seeing AI's future and where it's going.
Then I take a walk around Mosen Towers with my iPhone 12 Pro Max to give you a practical demonstration of Seeing AI's World Channel. I recommend listening to this demonstration with headphones to get the full immersive experience.
