A new monitor just dropped that uses ambient light to cut power by 80% and looks like paper on screen.
For those of us with light sensitivity or low vision, displays that reduce glare are not just nice to have. They matter.
I want to see it in use!

The CEO of Lighthouse Guild is blind. He just ran a half marathon through NYC guided by AI glasses, a sighted coach watching live through the lenses.
Built with blind leadership at the center. That is what good assistive tech looks like.

Just did a brief search for micro OLED displays, and it looks like SeeYa displays might be good for prototyping a headset for low vision.

Photo of me with ginger hair, wearing round glasses and a white frilly blouse with a black military style waistcoat. I am holding King George's crown which is gold with red velvet and white edging. There are different coloured 'jewels' dotted around it. The crown was not as heavy as I expected. I couldn't put it on my head as I might have compromised the mic inside it.
Close up of me showing the audio description device. It goes in your ears like a doctor's stethoscope. There is a large dial which sits like the pendant of a necklace and adjusts the volume. A button in the middle changes the channel.
Had a great time at @dmtwestend.bsky.social #HamiltonTheMusical. My first ever touch tour was amazing! Got to see props and costumes up close and talk to those in the know from behind the scenes. Then live #AudioDescription before and during the show. Highly recommend. #Blind #LowVision

Lockdown mode is what makes Homer Audio Player unique: it's not just an app, it's a device.
It's what makes Homer so easy to use and perfect for older, non-tech-savvy users.
