<p>Hello, our favourite animated friends, and welcome to the show. This week, Óran and Clodagh are just back from Dingle, County Kerry, where they and Larry attended the Animation Dingle Festival. Óran was thrilled because he got to touch the actual models used for the latest Wallace and Gromit movie 'Vengeance Most Fowl'. The film was made in stop-motion animation, which means amongst other things that it took a super-long time to produce.</p> <p>It's a welcome return for Stuart Lawler to the podcast. Stuart flew his private jet over to Anaheim in California to attend CSUN Assistive Tech Conference. What new toys are out there for the VI community? What is accessibility like at the event? Did Stuart fight any fires? How much does a beer cost? And where the hell is Anaheim? All these questions and not a lot more will be answered by the tech guru.</p> <p>Meta have announced AI is coming to Europe, but does that include the 'Look and describe' feature on the Meta Ray Ban glasses?</p> <p>So, stop drawing cartoons; put down your colouring pencils; and settle in for the number one best animated podcast in the land: Blind Guys Chat!</p> <p>7 out of 10 pencils prefer it to being sharpened!</p> <p>Links for this show:</p> <p>Good Maps: <a href="https://goodmaps.com/" rel="nofollow">https://goodmaps.com/</a></p> <p>Glide: <a href="https://glidance.io/#:~:text=Glide%20is%20a%20pioneering%20AI-powered%20mobility%20aid%20designed,path%2C%20and%20helps%20you%20get%20to%20your%20destination" rel="nofollow">https://glidance.io/#:~:text=Glide%20is%20a%20pioneering%20AI-powered%20mobility%20aid%20designed,path%2C%20and%20helps%20you%20get%20to%20your%20destination</a></p> <p>New haptics: <a href="https://www.newhaptics.com/post/building-a-multiline-braille-display" rel="nofollow">https://www.newhaptics.com/post/building-a-multiline-braille-display</a></p> <p>Support Blind Guys Chat by contributing to their tip jar: <a href="https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/blind-guys-chat" rel="payment nofollow">https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/blind-guys-chat</a></p><p><a href="https://pnc.st/s/blind-guys-chat/de090674/120-crash-test-dummies/transcript">Read transcript</a></p><hr>
