Welcome to Access On, the technology podcast of the National Federation of the Blind.

National Federation of the Blind President Mark Riccobono encourages a conversation about smart glasses.

Muse is a new agentic AI tool from Meta that's gone viral.

What can you do with it? Listeners share their perspectives on the pros and cons of iOS versus Android, and several relatively new apps that might add value to your daily computing experience.

First today, as we've covered on previous episodes of Access On, we are aware of the increasing smart glasses backlash, the call for banning smart glasses, and the increasing use of pejorative rhetoric to describe the glasses and the people who wear them.

Equally, there is increasing concern about the way that smart glasses are being portrayed as some sort of miracle cure or necessity for blind people, so it's a complicated issue.

Every month, the president of the National Federation of the Blind, Mark Riccobono, produces a presidential release, and this gets played at our chapter meetings around the country.

The presidential release is a great way for President Riccobono to communicate about some of the issues that the Federation is working on and thinking about, and certainly we are thinking about and working on the issue of smart glasses.
