Today on the show, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss the innovative SevaVision glasses, which aim to utilize remaining vision in those with visual impairments, and we also find out more about the development of the Optima Braille Laptop.

The guys also dive into the thorny topic of the costs and technology inside today’s assistive technology. Is it right that companies ask blind people to pay thousands of dollars for tech that is years out of date on the day of purchase, and what is the solution?

At Sight Village, Shaun caught up with Adi Kushner from Access Mind and he shares updates on the ongoing development of the Optima Braille Laptop, and he also chats with the team behind SevaVision glasses that offer augmented reality and vision enhancements via their wearable device.
