Apps Of The Week, Looking Ahead to Apple’s Event & Benefit Of Smart Glasses For Disabled People https://youtu.be/WMe1xCFzPBc
Today on the show Steven and Shaun dive into the inbox for the first in our weekly series of “App of the Week” featuring your favourite apps and why others might liike them. We also welcome disability and technology advocate Colin Hughes back to discuss the upcoming Apple Event and why he thinks Meta are missing a trick when it comes to their Ray-Ban smart glasses.
As always, the show begins with a catchup between Steven and Shaun, with Shaun telling us about his weekend away coming up at a rather fancy hotel. They both share their packing plans when going away, and discuss the best way to assess and use the features of a hotel room.
In our new “App of the Week” feature, listeners Gordon and Dennis share their lists of favourite apps including Be My Eyes, Seeing AI, OoTunes and Mona for Mastodon. Get in touch using the details below to share your suggestions.
Our special guest today is Colin Hughes, a long time disability and technology advocate, who talks to Steven about his experience of the Apple beta software ahead of its launch over the next month, as well as discussing his annoyance at the Apple Watch as a person who lives with muscular dystrophy, and why he believes Meta need to better understand the value their Ray-Ban smart glasses can have on the disability community.
