From AI-powered apps like Seeing AI and Microsoft Copilot to motion-sensor hallway lights, LED strips under kitchen cabinets, and the ever-reliable smart speaker that keeps chiming in uninvited, they share the creative, practical, and constantly evolving ways they navigate daily life with vision loss.
