Visiting Sight Village In The UK

Today on the show Steven and Shaun are joined by a good friend of the show, Tim Dixon, who recently travelled to Sight Village in the north of England in the UK - an event that takes place across the UK throughout the year promoting the latest in tech and accessibility services.

Tim explains more about his trip, and shares some exclusive video clips he recorded for Double Tap while he was there. He talks about various products he tried out including the Mini Guide navigation device, Svarosky Cane, EyeBeam Torch for canes, Activator Braille display, VoxiVision AI OCR device, and WeWalk Smart Cane 2.

They explore the features, benefits, and potential impact of these devices on the lives of visually impaired people, with a promise from Tim to come back and talk more about how he made the videos which you can watch on the YouTube version of the show.
