Description

In episode 298 of iCantCU, I share a personal update on Ziggy's ongoing lymphoma treatments and the unexpected emergency caused by a corn cob that may require surgery. It's been an emotional and stressful few days, and I wanted to bring everyone up to speed.

I also take a deep dive into the Rokid Style smart glasses after using them during a trip to Baltimore. From navigation and video recording to accessibility frustrations and comparisons with the Ray-Ban Meta glasses, I break down what works, what doesn't, and where I think smart glasses are heading for blind users.

I also talk about:

• Recording video while traveling as a blind creator
• Smart glasses and privacy concerns
• AI navigation features and step-by-step directions
• Why glare is still a major issue for low vision users
• Google's upcoming AI glasses
• Apple's rumored smart glasses
• Why I still think Ray-Ban Meta currently has the edge
