In this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun explore the expanding world of AI-powered vision across devices and platforms. Steven shares his first hands-on experience using Google Gemini's live vision feature on the Samsung Galaxy S25, using it to identify blinking lights and navigate the menu on an inaccessible VoIP phone—saving himself an Aira call in the process.They dive deep into what this technology can do (and what it can't), including its potential for identifying objects like mugs, clothing, CDs, and reading text on the fly. While Gemini impresses in some use cases, its limitations in real-time accuracy reveal that we're still a few steps away from fully trusting AI for independent navigation or complex spatial tasks.Listeners also weigh in. Aaron shares a glowing review of the Stellar Trek and its breadcrumb navigation, color detection, and tactile buttons—offering a hands-free experience separate from his smartphone. Steven reflects on past struggles with the device and confirms plans to revisit it with Humanware's help for a more in-depth review.Other topics include: The strengths and weaknesses of the Envision smart glasses vs. Echo Vision by Agiga Meta Smart Glasses glitches and fixes The growing reliability of AI voices and TTS tools for audio production The future of smart glasses hardware amid global supply issues A hilarious and practical debate on using fingers vs. liquid level indicators for pouring teaWith firsthand insights, practical listener advice, and thoughtful reflections on what accessible AI could mean for blind users, this episode offers both inspiration and grounded realism.Get in touch with Double Tap by emailing us feedback@doubletaponair.com or by call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail.

What does independence truly mean for someone who can't see? This question lies at the heart of Envision's revolutionary approach to assistive technology for blind and low-vision individuals.Karthik Kannan's journey began with a simple career counseling visit to a blind school in India. While his sighted nephew dreamed of building cities on Mars, the blind students shared much more fundamental aspirations: reading books independently, visiting the beach alone, or simply living by themselves someday. This stark contrast revealed how much energy people with visual impairments spend overcoming basic hurdles that sighted people take for granted.That revelation sparked a mission to build a bridge between the visual world and those who cannot access it conventionally. Initially developing a crash-prone mobile app that converted images to speech, Karthik watched in amazement as the blind community persevered through its flaws because of its transformative potential. The app's organic growth led to Envision winning Google's Play Award for best accessibility experience, opening doors to integrate their technology with Google Glass.The marriage of AI and wearable technology has proven particularly powerful for accessibility. While smartphones require juggling a cane in one hand and possibly a guide dog with another, smart glasses provide hands-free access to visual information. Recent advances in conversational AI have further simplified the experience, allowing users to interact naturally through speech rather than learning complicated interfaces.Though currently priced around $1,800, these glasses are expected to become dramatically more affordable as smart wearables enter the mainstream. The impact has been so profound that many in the blind community place AI accessibility innovations in the same category as the invention of Braille.Join us to explore how technology can truly serve humanity when designed with inclusion at its core.

Welcome to Revive Ministries Podcast. Envision a car ride across the country and you are sitting next to a 7-year-old boy in the back seat constantly asking questions about how long it will take and why? It may seem exhausting, but the curiosity and excitement appears to still be awake. When was the last time I was excited to get anywhere or, better yet, ask myself “why” constantly due to my pure curiosity and excitement for what is next? This month we are diving deeper into discovering what's our “why.” Why may it be important to have purpose when it comes to our daily lives and resilience? “The two most important days in life are the day you born and the day you discover the reason why.” – Mark TwainToday, we have a new guest, Shane Thrapp, to assist us in discussing this area while also sharing their own story along the way.

En nuestro radar de hoy aparece una marca de coches eléctricos que con sus resultados ha dejado impactado al mercado: BYD. La marca de vehículos chinos logra por primera vez superar los 100.000 millones de dólares en ingresos, ganando así la batalla a Tesla. Es una mejora del 29% comparado con el mismo periodo del año anterior. La división de automóviles supone casi el 80% de la unidad total de su negocio pero otras divisiones como los negocios de componentes, ensamblaje y teléfonos móviles le reportaron a la marca más de 20.000 millones de euros. Esto se traduce en una clara mejoría en el beneficio neto. 5171 millones de euros, un incremento del 34% en la comparativa interanual. A pesar de estos magníficos resultados, desde BYD no son ajenos a los aranceles que quiere imponer la administración Trump a la industria automovilística. El presidente estadounidense deja claro que el gravamen “será del 25% y más, y aumentará considerablemente en el transcurso de un año”. Con esto, Trump busca proteger a la industria local pero Stella Li, vicepresidenta de BYD, dijo a The Sunday Times, que “que los aranceles tendrían el efecto contrario y "debilitarán" a las industrias locales. Aunque desde Europa han acusado más de una vez a la marca de disfrutar de subsidios injustos. Sobre esto, Li dejó claro que “nuestro coche es más elegante que cualquier coche de diseño europeo”, “nuestro coche es más inteligente”. Lo que está claro es que el Gobierno chino ha apostado y mucho por la movilidad y el vehículo eléctrico. No solo en su país. Empresas como Hygreen Energy o Envision han elegido España para llevar a cabo sus proyectos. Estas inversiones tendrán un coste de 10.000 millones de euros. China quiso recompensar la postura del presidente del Gobierno, Pedro Sánchez, que pidió a la UE que reconsiderara los aranceles a los vehículos producidos en China. El gigante asiático busca ganar una enorme cuota de mercado a nivel global. BYD fue fundada por Wang Chuanfu en 1995 y en un principio la compañía estaba diseñada para la fabricación de baterías. La historia de la empresa cambió para siempre cuando en 2003 se funda BYD Auto, tras la adquisición de Tsinchuan Automobile Company. Los vehículos han ganado cada vez más peso en los planes de BYD. En 2009 suponían el 50% de los ingresos de la compañía. Hoy llega al 80.

Pim Zwier is filmmaker, fotograaf en mediakunstenaar. In 2021 won zijn film ‘O, eieren verzamelen ondanks de tijden' de prijs voor Beste Regie op IDFA in de Envision-competitie en in 2022 ontving Zwier op hetzelfde filmfestival het ‘Documentaire Stipendium' van het Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds. Zijn nieuwste project ‘Metamorfose' gaat over Maria Sibylla Merian (1647-1717), een Duits-Nederlandse kunstenares en pionier in de entomologie. Zij legde als eerste de volledige metamorfose van rupsen tot vlinders vast en illustreerde de insecten in hun natuurlijke omgeving. Merian ging tegen de conventies van haar tijd in en liet een blijvende stempel achter op wetenschap en kunst. De film is een mix van natuurfilm, kostuumdrama en kunstproject en werd genomineerd voor de Best Dutch Film Award op IDFA. Femke van der Laan gaat met Pim Zwier in gesprek.

Imagine a future you long for and want to win—a future where all living beings, including the Earth, belong without exception. This kind of visioning work was why I created the Imagine Belonging Podcast. I wanted to create a welcoming space, inviting guests to dream with me, without limitation. This kind of imagination allows new futures to emerge. Igniting the power to imagine increases our ability to upend today's current conditions & competing future visions. Today's sobering conditions, along with one particular competing vision, obstruct our ability to activate a vision of a shared belonging society. What is the Belonging Society Vision's main competitor? Project 2025. While I'm sure you have heard of it by now, are you fully aware of how it may impact your life? In this podcast episode, you'll learn more about what it says and what to do. Briefly, Project 2025 details a cruel and unconstitutional vision designed to challenge, erode, and eradicate hard-won human and civil rights protections in the United States. The agenda was authored by the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank opposed to racial, immigrant, LGBTQ+, gender, reproductive, and disability justice. The Project's proposals have shaped the flurry of executive orders released over the first few months of the Trump Administration's second term. Project 2025 embodies a radical, wasteful, and anti-human agenda that has already impacted the workforce. When it comes to workplace DEI commitments, this radical agenda calls for: Eradicating Federal Programs. Eliminating all federal diversity, equity, and inclusion programming. Eliminating Chief Diversity Officers. Indefinitely placing essential chief diversity officers (and related positions) on administrative leave. Establish Anti-DEI Task Forces. Creating task forces to determine the scope, breadth, and depth of diversity, equity, and inclusion programs. Shift Federal Funding Priorities. Divert federal funding for the diversity, equity, and inclusion programming of nonprofits and higher education institutions. Prohibit EEO-1 Data Collection. Make it impossible to prove discrimination by prohibiting data collection; evidence used in disparate impact analysis. If you are concerned about Project 2025 and want to gain insights on how to defeat it, while still fortifying and advancing the heart of your DEI commitments, then you're in the right place. The purpose of this podcast episode is to grapple with some of the most challenging questions by promoting a dialogue that will provoke new thoughts, ideas, and approaches. And it's for this reason that I invited Dr. Joel A. Davis Brown, and Jess Pettitt, MBA, to join the show. Here's some background about each guest: Joel A. Davis Brown is the Chief Visionary Officer of Pneumos LLC (“Pneumos”). Joel works strategically with a variety of organizations, including non-profit organizations, Fortune 500 companies, churches, and institutions of higher learning to build consciousness, capacity, community, and collective esteem. His work spans 5 continents and his mission is to facilitate liberation for every global citizen. Joel is viewed as a master communicator and is best known for his critical analysis, creativity, humor, and his ability to build consensus. Jess Pettitt is a bestselling author and sought after keynoter. She quit her day job after a decade, and almost 20 years later still uses humor to deliver actionable content related to everything you ever wanted to know about where leadership and diversity collide but are afraid to ask. Though often referred to as a thought leader, Jess responds that she just makes leaders think.  Together, Joel and Jess will help me unpack what it will take to upend Project 2025 & replace it with a shared belonging society vision. During our conversation we: Examine Real-world Impacts. Moving beyond the rhetoric, we delve into the real-world impacts on businesses and their DEI commitments, examining litigation & reputational risks, potential funding cuts, shifting compliance requirements, and the chilling effect these early executive actions informed by Project 2025 are having on our work cultures.   Explore the Impacts of Fear & Silence. We address one of Project 2025's main objectives, which is to create a climate of fear and silence around DEI. To counter this climate, we encourage discussion about legal protections, the role of leadership in fostering open dialogue, and ways to safeguard employees who advocate for inclusion. Learn the Value of DEI Data Collection. We highlight the importance of data collection and key metrics in DEI work as we explore the challenges of operating without these measures. We then explore alternative data collection methods, qualitative assessments, and the potential impacts on leadership accountability and transparency. Envision a New Business Outcome Narrative. Then we pivot to explore the role of new narratives, one of which amplifies the value of DEI on employee well-being and business outcomes. We explore how to frame the narrative around business outcomes, resisting the tendency to focus on social justice arguments, to resonate with a broader audience. Consider How to Proactively Plan. This question emphasizes proactive planning. It prompts discussion about auditing current DEI policies to reduce litigation risk while balancing the threat of reputational risk, scenario planning for different political outcomes, and building resilience into DEI programs to withstand potential challenges. Similar to all of our Imagine Belonging podcast episodes and programming, our guests had the opportunity to share their vision for what a belonging society looks like, painting a vivid picture of a future many of us long for, and want to win during our 1:1 laser coaching sessions with our guests right after our live recording. If you'd like to participate in those engagements, please be sure to join the Belonging Membership Community by visiting www.rhodesperry.com/subscribe. Please remember that this podcast episode offers a timely and crucial conversation about a vision for a belonging society and the role we and our workplaces play in activating it.

Today on Bold Steps, Pastor Mark Jobe explains how an encounter with God changed Moses' identity … and how it could change yours, too. Before a motion picture movie is made … the creative team sits down to mockup a storyboard of the film. A storyboard is a sequence of drawings that help show the flow of the narrative beforehand. This process allows everyone involved to see a visual representation of where the film is headed … so there aren’t any surprises. And as we move forward in our study today, Mark explains that for some people… it’s time to get back to the drawing board … to Re-Envision Your Life Story.

What is holding you back from living up to your greatest aspirations, your dreams, your ideals? What is stopping you from actualizing your full potential? Is it fear? Bad luck? A lack of skills or motivation? Or perhaps it's all of the above? Maybe there are even deeper, unseen forces—subconscious patterns, societal pressures, or past experiences—blocking your path without you even realizing it.One thing is certain: Each of us yearns to live the best possible life—however we define it. But wanting is not enough. It's one thing to set goals and define success; it's another to identify and overcome the obstacles in our way.It seems simple: Envision your ideal life, then remove the barriers. But life is rarely that straightforward. We are complex beings, shaped by both external influences and internal struggles. There are forces—both within and beyond us—that silently dictate our choices, often without our conscious awareness.Please join Rabbi Simon Jacobson in this vital conversation as we uncover what is truly standing between you and your greatest life—and, more importantly, how to break through to achieve your utmost potential.

This podcast is about big ideas on how technology is making life better for people with vision loss. Technology developed specifically for people with low vision has historically been bespoke, specific, and expensive, requiring the creation of new technology for a relatively small population of users. But recently we're seeing a paradigm shift from building new vision tech from scratch to building on top of existing technology that most people use daily. In this episode, Dr. Cal talks with Karthik Mahadevan, the founder and CEO of Envision, about how his technology company builds on existing tech, like smartphones and smart glasses, to benefit users with low vision. Envision's software uses AI to recognize important visual cues in a user's environment and then relays that information to the user with computer-generated speech. Karthik's breakthrough realization early on that he didn't need to build hardware when he could just tap into the cameras of smartphones and smart glasses that people already owned, enabling Envision to reach a much wider audience. The episode also features an interview with Troy Otillio, the CEO of Aira. Aira's platform links users to a human visual interpreter, who can access the camera on their device and guide the user through the task, whether reading a letter, navigating a grocery store, or finding their way around an unfamiliar city. Ultimately, the future of creating vision technology might not be in reinventing the wheel but in improving it and figuring out how to turn the tech people already use every day into easy and accessible solutions for people with low vision.   The Big Takeaways Building on Existing Tech: Karthik stresses that for vision tech to be impactful, it has to be accessible. He describes his inspiration as building on top of existing consumer technology to create Envision and thus create a product that millions of people already have the hardware to operate. Later, Dr. Cal discusses the “Taco Bell Phenomenon”, which theorizes that while there may be no such thing as a new idea, the novel combinations of existing ideas are so infinite that they may be limitless. The Importance of a Visual Interpreter: Karthik discusses the limitations of communication formats such as braille and audio announcements in public places for people with vision impairment. While well-meaning, they can never really provide complete access to spaces that are meant to be navigated visually. That's where Envision comes in, allowing access to the camera on a smartphone or smart glasses to give the user a complete and accurate sense of their environment. Would You Like a Human for That?: To AI or not to AI? Speech-to-text technology is advanced enough that it can excel at reading something simple like a gas bill or a chicken soup recipe. But what if you got a birthday card from your grandchildren? Troy Otillio discusses how Aira recently partnered with Envision to offer their human visual interpreters as part of Envision's technology — providing camera access to a human agent who can fully understand the nuance of the user's situation. We Don't Make Hardware: A small market company like Envision doesn't have the capacity to build smart glasses (or smartphones) from scratch. The cost would be too high for a company that necessarily has a limited user base. Instead, the future of vision technology is likely to be in creating apps or finding novel uses for hardware that already exists. This will provide accessibility to people with vision impairments via tools they're already quite familiar with.   Tweetables “In the future, these AI are going to interact with other AIs… You know, someone like a Walmart will have their own AI. Someone like a Target will have their own AI. And your AI can speak to that AI and ask for specific information. And that's when it becomes super, super exciting.” — Karthik Mahadevan, Envision Founder & CEO “So for many years, consumer electronics was evolving in one direction, and assistive technology was evolving in a different direction. But what I noticed recently is this merger of the two: that consumer electronics are becoming more accessible.” — Dr. Cal Roberts, Lighthouse Guild President & CEO “You can look at Aira as just a layer, an accessibility layer that exists for when an automated solution, a pure software solution, doesn't work or when there is no solution, right? We're like that, call it a backstop, a more general purpose layer that you can always fall back to.” — Troy Otillio, Aira CEO   Contact Us: Contact us at podcasts@lighthouseguild.org with your innovative new technology ideas for people with vision loss.   Pertinent Links Lighthouse Guild Envision Aira

Matthew 6:9-10 NIV “This, then, is how you should pray: ‘Our Father in heaven…'” When we pray “Our Father,” we are remembering that we are deeply and completely and uniquely loved and important to God. And the more that takes root in us, something happens that begins to replace our fears and anxieties and insecurities with a calmer confidence and a new ability to love others that Our Father loves. You are my Father in Heaven I am already a child of Heaven (Phil 2:20) You love me just as you love Jesus! (Jn 17:23) You are the Creator of the universe and you're my Father!   You are my Creator I exist because you want me to exist (Rev 4:11) In you I live and move and have my being (Acts 17:28) As “our Father,” others are your precious sons and daughters   Who can you share this podcast with?
