Smart Glasses designed by the blind for the blind. Previewing the EchoVision Glasses by Agiga AI. Welcome back Kevin Chao, Chief Visionary and Evangelist.
AI wearables have been an emerging industry for the blind and visually impaired. While there are a number of options, not all are designed using the input of the blind. With direct feedback from blind users, EchoVision Glasses have been shaped by well-respected leaders in America’s blindness organizations such as NFB and ACB, icons such as Stevie Wonder, and a wide variety of potential users spanning our community.
Kevin Chao returns to the virtual studio after connecting with Simon Bonenfant at the 2025 National Convention of the National Federation of the Blind to discuss how Agiga was founded, spotlight some of EchoVision’s unique elements and demo several exciting features on the horizon.
From the Agiga Website:
“Empowering Independence, One View at a Time. EchoVision isn’t just another smart glasses—it’s a gateway to independence, knowledge, and boundless possibilities. Designed with the blind, for the blind, EchoVision empowers individuals to access visual information effortlessly and live life hands-free.”To learn more and pre-order your glasses, visit the Agiga website.
