About this podcast

Join guest host Victoria Song on The Vergecast as she delves into the transformative power of AI smart glasses for the low-vision community. Initially skeptical, Victoria's perspective shifts after hearing from Jason Valley, a visually impaired Verge reader, who shares how this technology has dramatically enhanced his independence and daily life. The discussion expands with Mike Buckley, CEO of Be My Eyes, who offers insights into how accessible tech benefits everyone and the future challenges and opportunities in this evolving space. Finally, features reporter Mia Sato joins to tackle a provocative question about the boundaries of smart glass usage. This episode challenges preconceptions and highlights why accessible design is, in essence, universal design.
