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. <https://lighthouse-sf.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=f40e17a83bbae60b5969a0798&id=f15bd745dc&e=2198618f1a> Watch the Glide introduction video on YouTube. 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!
