What is a Glide 'Virtual Demo Day'?

Glidance is extending an open invitation to join a free interactive and informational 'Virtual Demo Day' to learn about Glide – the world’s first self-guided AI-powered mobility aid designed to help the blind and low vision community navigate more confidently, comfortably, and safely.

You’ll have a unique opportunity to meet the Glidance team, hear the story behind the device, and get a detailed physical description and multi-scenario walk-through of the device's features, capabilities, and use cases. There will be plenty of time for a live and interactive Q&A session at the end, as well as an opportunity to share feedback and ideas with the team!
