About this Session:

In a world where sight is a privilege, not a guarantee, AI-powered wearables are rewriting the script on accessibility for the bling and low vision users . The marriage of AI and wearable technology has given birth to a new era of assistive tools, empowering individuals with visual impairments to navigate the world with unprecedented independence. But as we hurtle towards a future where AI-driven solutions are the norm, we must confront the complexities of designing for a community that has been historically underserved by technology. From the intricacies of human-centered design to the ethics of AI-driven decision-making, the challenges are multifaceted. Join us as we delve into the world of AI-powered wearables for the blind, where the promise of innovation meets the imperative of inclusivity. With Be My Eyes on Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses as our case study, we'll unpack the potential of AI-driven accessibility, its limitations, and the human impact of this emerging technology.
