After a very successful demo day at the Wayfinding Centre in Dublin, lots of people share their feelings on Glide. Some loved the device and can’t wait to get one, while others ask what it means for the future of the guide dog. Does Glide risk making guide dog refusal more acceptable?  With Apple launching a new design across their platforms, we discuss how it will impact those with low vision. Are we ready for liquid glass? Joe is excited about his AirPods tracking sleep, and we explain how five accessibility advocates got trapped while providing training in Leinster House.  All that and more on this week’s Talking Technology.
