Podcasts about smart glasses

In this episode of iCantCU, I talk about the new Oakley Meta smartglasses and why, despite the hype, I'm holding off for now. The camera's not centered like I'd hoped, and they still only shoot vertical video—great if you're all-in on Instagram, not so much for YouTube. The recording time is a win, though: 30 minutes vs. just three on the Ray-Bans. But if the Oakleys don't wrap around like my standard pair (which helps with glare), I'm probably not interested—unless they start shooting horizontal video. I also dive into my trip to New Orleans for the NFB national convention. Let's just say the travel there started with a missing wallet and at the convention, almost everything that could go wrong, did—from tech issues to accessibility frustrations to a basement flood back home. There's also a PSA for allies: if you're helping someone blind or low vision, ask before jumping in. Don't assume. And don't hand my boarding pass to someone else. Finally, we're selling raffle tickets to fund the NFB of PA scholarship program. $5 could win you up to $100—and helps students who need it.

CNET's Scott Stein unboxes the sportier, stylish Oakley HSTN glasses, which have similar Meta AI functions to the earlier Meta Ray-Bans.

On this episode of The Vergecast, we're going to dive deep into why accessible design is universal design. First, guest host Victoria Song will chat with Jason Valley, a visually impaired Verge reader. Jason initially reached out to Victoria after her Live AI hands-on, challenging the notion that the feature was a “solution looking for a problem to solve.” Jason shares how the tech has helped him live a more independent life, what he's hoping to see improve, and how the blind and low-vision community has enthusiastically embraced the technology. After that, Victoria sits down with Be My Eyes CEO Mike Buckley. Be My Eyes is an app that pairs blind and low-vision users with sighted volunteers to help them go about their day. Buckley gives his thoughts about how accessible tech design benefits everyone, why smart glasses and AI are a natural combo, and what challenges and opportunities in this space remain. And finally, we have features reporter Mia Sato on to answer a spicy question about smart glasses from the Vergecast Hotline (call 866-VERGE11 or email vergecast@theverge.com). Specifically, do smart glasses belong in the bedroom?

Met de oprichting van de AEX-index was het er al bij, maar het aandeel is nog steeds in trek. Sterker nog: geen een aandeel doet het dit jaar zó goed als ABN Amro. Vandaag kwam de bank met de voorlopige kwartaalcijfers. Deze aflevering kijken we (op basis van die cijfers) of het terecht is dat beleggers op het aandeel duiken. En vooral: of ABN deze winstreeks kan volhouden op de beurs.Gaat het ook over schoenen die naar het gezicht van directieleden worden gegooid. Dat soort heftig emotionele momenten gaan we niet meer meemaken op aandeelhoudersvergaderingen. Sterker nog: vergaderingen waren nog nooit zó rustig als nu. Directies proberen 'geen blauw oog' op te lopen en gaan steeds meer mee met voorstellen van aandeelhouders. De aandeelhouders van Tesla maken zich zorgen over Elon Musk. Gaat hij baasje spelen bij X, het voormalig Twitter? De aandeelhouders van Nvidia hebben helemaal geen zorgen. De beurswaarde ging door de magische grens van 4000 miljard dollar. Nog nooit is dat gebeurd bij een beursbedrijf!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Time now for our daily Tech and Business Report. KCBS Radio news anchor Eric Thomas spoke with Bloomberg Managing Editor Mark Gurman. Meta has launched the newest version of its smart glasses in partnership with sunglass brand Oakley's. It's a departure from the tech giant's previous partnership with Ray-Ban.

Better account security is coming to Facebook They will be adding passkey support. Why are Passkeys better? Because they prevent you from being tricked into giving your credentials to a fake site. They also can't be stolen, guessed, or leaked. A password doesn't care who it sends it to, you just hand it over and if it matches it lets you in, but you could be handing it over to anyone, the real site, or a fake site. A passkey is a more sophisticated form of authentication that first sends you a secret key. If that secret key matches, meaning that site and your device can now confirm they know each other, then a different key is sent back to log you in – the site also verifies that. Think of it like a secure handshake with only the one person you want to shake hands with – everything is verified before sending any details. Meta and Oakley are teaming up for a smart glasses collab Meta really wants smart glasses to be a thing! They're releasing five Oakley styles to appeal to more people. The Oakley glasses have a 3K front-facing camera (that records video), open-ear speakers, and microphones built into the frame. When connected to your phone you can listen to music or podcasts, conduct phone calls, or chat with Meta AI. Your Kindle is about to get more accessible With the latest software update rolling out there'll be more options for adjusting line spacing, paragraph spacing, word spacing, and even character spacing. It's a big improvement for those with vision impairments. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Watch CNET's Patrick Holland as he gets a hands-on experience with Google's new Android XR smart glasses at the Google I/O event.

In this episode, I recap my trip to Las Vegas for the NFB of Nevada State Convention—part learning, part getaway with Liz. As chair of the upcoming Pennsylvania convention, I wanted to see how other states run theirs. Nevada's was short but packed, and I took notes, especially on their use of breakout tracks and Family Feud. Liz and I also hit In-N-Out Burger twice and even saw Michael Symon at his BBQ spot. Navigating the hotel-casino was tricky, and I share some challenges, especially solo ones. The Meta smart glasses I wore were a game-changer for identifying signs and surroundings. We capped off the trip with a frustrating movie experience—the audio description device failed again. Still, it was great getting away and gathering ideas for our Harrisburg event this fall. If only In-N-Out would come east! Show notes at https://www.iCantCU.com/285 Links Mentioned (product links are affiliate links so that I may earn a commission.)

White Canes Connect Podcast Episode 135 In episode 135 of White Canes Connect, Lisa Bryant and I welcome Martha Steele and Natanya Sortland to spotlight the inaugural Blind Birders Birdathon. This nationwide event invites blind and visually impaired individuals to identify birds by sound during a flexible two-hour window within a 24-hour period. No birding experience required—just a love of listening. Martha, a lifelong birder from Massachusetts, was inspired by an article about a blind bird guide and helped launch the event to build community and highlight that birding is, above all, an auditory experience. Natanya, an ambassador for VisionCorps and a self-described "bird-loving beginner," is leading a group walk in Malvern, PA at Brightside Farm, with expert Rick Kaiser guiding participants through the art of bird song recognition.

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.

On this episode of Double Tap, Steven and Shaun break down the latest rumors surrounding Meta's upcoming Hypernova smart glasses. With prices rumored to start at over $1,000, they debate the practicality of AR displays in smart glasses and how accessible (or not) they might be for blind users. The discussion digs into Meta's broader wearable strategy, comparing it to past attempts like Google Glass and current AI-driven tools such as Be My Eyes and Aira.Listener emails pour in, ranging from app organization tips to feedback on Braille displays and screen reader tech. Rebecca raises concerns over the constant delays in assistive tech product launches like the Optima and Orbit Player, while Steven defends the need for accessible glucose monitoring—especially when the NHS doesn't always recognize accessibility as a necessity.Steven also dives deep into document accessibility tools, sharing his experiences using Scribe and DocuScan Plus from Numa Solutions for converting inaccessible PDFs into readable and audio-friendly formats. The episode highlights the growing utility of these tools and why OCR still matters even in the age of AI.Get in touch with Double Tap by emailing us feedback@doubletaponair.com or by call 1-877-803-4567 and leave us a voicemail.
