Meta’s Look and Tell Confusion, Gemini’s Win & The Sunglasses Debate
In this episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece serve up an energetic mix of tech talk, personal stories, and powerful listener feedback. They dive into the practical use of AI-powered glasses, from Meta’s delayed UK rollout of Look and Tell to Google Gemini’s hands-on advantages for blind users. You’ll hear real-world insights on using tools like the Ember Mug, Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses, and high-speed networking with a Mac Studio.
Steven shares his unexpected enthusiasm for Android and Samsung’s Galaxy S25, praising Gemini Vision for helping him understand networking hardware. Meanwhile, Shaun provides a healthy dose of skepticism over Meta’s software glitches and regional rollout inconsistencies.
Listeners also join the conversation with personal perspectives on the ongoing “blind uniform” debate surrounding sunglasses and canes. From UK pubs to Canadian classrooms, visually impaired listeners share what visibility means to them—and how society reacts. There’s even time for a quick dive into Mr. Magoo, Sonos speaker issues, and Bluetooth lag frustration.
