In this episode of YourTechReport, Marc welcomes Steven Scott, host of Double Tap, to discuss the latest in accessible technology, including Steven’s hands-on experience with the new Mac Mini. They chat about Apple’s dedication to accessibility and how the Mac Mini is ideal for users with visual impairments, thanks to built-in accessibility features like VoiceOver.

Steven also introduces the audience to Sight Village, the UK’s premier tech event for people with visual impairments, where tech vendors showcase specialized and mainstream technologies. Marc and Steven dive into the revolutionary new Glide device, an AI-driven mobility aid designed to offer navigation assistance similar to a guide dog—without the need for a dog. They discuss how this groundbreaking device, which uses advanced sensors and AI, is empowering users with autonomy at a fraction of the cost of traditional mobility aids.

They wrap up by exploring the growing range of tech products for the blind, from talking air fryers to accessible microwaves, and the importance of inclusivity in tech design. Whether you’re interested in accessibility tech or curious about the future of AI in assistive devices, this episode has insights that will inspire you!
