Our Community Propels Us Forward

Learn about our team and our approach to co-creating the future.

We build autonomous technology that enhances human agency. 

For over 300 million people worldwide who are blind or have low vision, independent navigation remains the single greatest barrier to freedom and personal agency.  
Glidance exists to change that—and in doing so, lay the foundation for how intelligent machines will one day move among us: safely, and in ways that extend human capability rather than replace it.

Founded by Amos Miller—a blind technologist who pioneered spatial augmented reality at Microsoft Research and led Microsoft Soundscape—Glidance is an autonomous technology company building the future of robotics and intelligent wayfinding to serve real human needs.  

Breakthroughs in AI, computer vision, and robotics over the past few years have opened new frontiers in understanding the physical world — and with it, the ability to help people move through it. Our flagship product, the Glide device, represents the first meaningful evolution in primary mobility aids for the blind and low vision community in nearly a century.

We built Glide on the principle that those whose lives are most affected by a decision should be the ones to shape it. That's why it was designed and developed in close collaboration with more than 8,000 blind and low vision individuals, alongside leading academic institutions.

That partnership doesn't end here. We're glad to have you with us on this journey, and look forward to continuing to learn together. 

Amos has spent more than two decades building human-centered AI systems.

After losing his sight in his 20s due to a genetic eye condition, Amos has committed his career to breaking barriers for this community, becoming a recognized pioneer in the field. 

As a product executive at Microsoft Research, Amos founded Soundscape (now VoiceVista), a navigation app using advanced spatial audio which has helped countless people move through the world with greater confidence and independence. He served as Chairman of the Board at Guide Dogs for the Blind (UK) and holds an MBA from London Business School. His work sits at the intersection of personal robotics, embodied AI, and inclusive design.

Amos brings a rare conviction to this space: that the hardest design constraints produce the most transformative innovations, and that building for the margins often means building for everyone. At Glidance, that belief is the foundation—accessible technology isn't a niche. It's a frontier with the power to unlock massive social and economic value.
