[NOMC] Re: FW: Live Demo of Glide, AI-Powered Mobility Aid, 12/5

Hi Everyone, This is the first time I'm hearing about this. The price is not realistic and I have several concerns about safety and travel in general. An example of this is stair navigation. The text basically states that it will guide you to stairs and then you need to carry the device up and down them. How would an individual determine how steep the stairs are or when the top/bottom is reached. I have so many questions about safety and efficiency. Is anyone planning to attend a demonstration session? Joni Martinez, NOMC

What is Glide?

https://lighthouse-sf.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f40e17a83bbae60b5969a0798&id=fdbdb2ec8b&e=2198618f1a Glide is the world’s first intelligent guide for the blind and low vision community.

Pioneering a new category of primary mobility aids, Glide uses real-time data from an array of AI-powered advanced sensors to understand complex spaces, map the best routes, identify targets of interest, and avoid obstacles to guide you safely to your destination.

What Can Glide Do?

* Holding Glide’s ergonomic handle in one hand and walking at your own pace, Glide will simply guide you by steering its wheels. * With obstacle detection for both stationary and moving objects, you can confidently navigate high-traffic areas. * With its camera and sensors, Glide will detect and direct you to key waypoints and line-of-sight targets and apply its haptic handle and automatic braking system when you arrive. * As you walk, voice feedback keeps you updated on relevant details within your environment. * Pre-program your most frequent routes or simply start walking without a set destination in mind. Glide will keep you on a path & avoid obstacles.

Demo Day

The Glide team is thrilled to invite our Bay Area community to join us for a unique opportunity to meet the team, hear from our founder, ask questions and get your hands on the latest Glide prototype. This is also a chance to meet fellow Gliders and connect with our incredible community of supporters, advocates, friends and more!

This Demo Day is one of many being held across the country – and eventually world – for our community, and we’re excited to be able to bring Glide to San Francisco!
