It's a common misconception that people who are blind or have low vision only see black. In reality, personal experiences vary greatly. Some people may see light, shadows, or blurry shapes, while others experience tunnel vision, color distortion, or even peripheral vision loss. Each person's experience is unique—blindness isn’t always a complete absence of sight. Understanding these differences is key to creating a more inclusive and empathetic world for the blind and low-vision community. 👁️ #WorldSightDay #BlindCommunity #LowVision #BlindAwareness #Accessibility #Inclusion #BlindAndProud #AssistiveTech #Blindness #GuideDog #BlindLife #InclusiveDesign #DigitalAccessibility #Braille #SeeingDifferently #BlindIndependence #VoiceOver #SightLoss #ScreenReader #BlindCreativity #AccessibleTech #DeafBlind #BlindAdvocacy #InclusiveEducation #BlindCulture #BlindInspiration

Glide Alpha units are coming! Glide is an AI-driven mobility aid for people who are blind or have low vision. We've spent the last few months hard at work developing an upgraded design and system, and now, we are just about ready to assemble and begin testing the first few Alpha units. None of this would be possible without our Glider community. Everyone has offered us feedback, support and kindness as we design the best mobility aid possible. Thank you, Gliders, for all of your help along the way 😃 #BlindCommunity #LowVision #BlindAwareness #Accessibility #Inclusion #BlindAndProud #AssistiveTech #Blindness #GuideDog #BlindLife #InclusiveDesign #DigitalAccessibility #Braille #SeeingDifferently #BlindIndependence #VoiceOver #SightLoss #ScreenReader #BlindCreativity #AccessibleTech #DeafBlind #BlindAdvocacy #InclusiveEducation #BlindCulture #BlindInspiration ALT TEXT: Multiple photos of the Alpha Glide in testing and production.
