Meet The World's First "Intelligent" Mobility Aid: Glide Preorders Launch
July 14, 2026
Seattle Washington, July 12, 2024 – Glidance, an innovative leader in AI powered assistive technology, is thrilled to announce the public launch of preorders for Glide, the world’s first self-guided primary mobility aid designed for the blind and low vision community.
In January of 2023, Amos Miller, Founder and CEO of Glidance, saw an inevitable future. A future in which people with sight loss navigate city streets confidently and independently, guided by intelligent, embodied devices. These guides would seamlessly integrate into their users' lives, offering a profound sense of agency, flow, and confidence.
On July 9th, 2024 Glidance took a major step in bringing about that future by opening the Glide product for preorders and building a community of passionate individuals who are backing the mission and believe in that future. In doing so Glidance is creating opportunities for ground-breaking innovation in this space to shape that inevitable future together.
Amos Miller, co-founder & CEO of Glidance, shared his excitement:
"We are deeply grateful for the support of our entire Glider community as we’ve worked towards this special moment," said Amos Miller, CEO of Glidance. "From the hundreds of folks who’ve joined us on our monthly community Zoom calls, to the thousands who’ve filled out our feedback surveys, shared their input in person or via deep technical calls and emails, and guided us along this journey. You have been an essential part of our learning and development process, and we are excited to continue our process of transparent, open, and inclusive innovation as we work towards the launch of the product in 2025."
Glide is not simply a new mobility aid; it’s a category-defining innovation in the world of assistive technologies. By blending intuitive design with cutting-edge navigational robotics and AI, Glide enables users to navigate their surroundings comfortably, safely, and independently. Leveraging advanced sensors and the proprietary Glidance Sensible Wayfinding system, Glide intelligently maps the best routes, identifies targets of interest, and avoids obstacles to ensure a seamless journey.
