Meta’s Ray-Ban Display smart glasses are officially shipping with a built-in screen reader and low-vision accessibility features—and we’ve got the inside scoop from Saqib Shaikh, the creator of Seeing AI, on how Microsoft is partnering with Meta to bring hands-free AI experiences to blind and low-vision users.

Expanded Summary
In this episode of Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into the big news from Meta Connect: Ray-Ban Display glasses launching with VoiceOver-style functionality, magnification, and large-text options on day one. The pair discuss why this could be Meta’s iPhone moment for blind and partially sighted users.

They share personal experiences with Apple Watch accessibility in the gym, the quirks of upgrading to iOS 26, and the real-world usefulness of smart glasses. Later, they’re joined by Saqib Shaikh from Microsoft, who reveals how Seeing AI is integrating with Meta’s wearable platform. From instant text recognition to future AI-driven assistance, this conversation explores the next frontier of hands-free accessibility.
