Welcome to the VizWiz podcast, where we explore two questions: "what are visual challenges blind people encounter in their daily lives?" and "what are technological advancements helping blind people to live more independently?" The hosts are a diverse team of researchers from academia and industry with a shared passion around developing more inclusive artificial intelligence (AI) solutions. We interview the world’s leading AI researchers, technology advocates from the blind community, and industry specialists to raise awareness about current access technologies and help inspire their future.
