In today’s Double Tap, Steven and Shaun dive into the rollout chaos of Meta’s Look and Tell AI feature in smart glasses—and why UK users are still stuck in limbo. Steven shares how he finally got access, while Shaun continues to battle the “not available in your region” message. Could VPNs be the culprit?

Also in this episode, Steven opens up about a health scare triggered by his Apple Watch's heart rate alerts, which landed him in hospital. He shares his experience and offers a reminder about the life-saving value of wearable tech.

Plus, the hosts react to RNIB’s response to backlash over discontinuing free personal braille transcription services. They explore what the charity’s pivot really means for blind users and question the broader role of sight loss organizations in today's accessibility landscape.

Listener messages flood in, with first-hand reports from Glide demo days in the UK and US. Callum, James, and Stuart all weigh in on how Glide’s tech compares to traditional white canes and guide dogs—and why public perception may still be a barrier to adoption.
