Today on the show, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece discuss the latest advancements in wearable technology for the blind people, focusing in particular on a new product from French company Kapsys.

In the news today they also discuss the GA Conf Awards, which recognizes efforts in game accessibility, and they talk about Blazie’s new integration of ChatGPT for JAWS users, exploring the implications and potential of these technologies.
