🎥 In this episode of iCantCU, I share why the new Oakley Meta smartglasses aren’t living up to the hype—from the vertical video limitation to the lack of glare protection. I also recap a chaotic trip to the NFB National Convention in New Orleans, complete with tech fails, travel mishaps, and one very frustrating accessibility issue after another. If you’re blind or low vision—or just care about accessibility—this one’s for you.

🎙️ iCantCU is now on YouTube! Episode 286: Audio Description Fails – One Mine, One Massive is up.

I talk about two accessibility slip-ups: one I made while filming at the NFB National Center (lesson learned), and one from an OVR meeting where a presenter showed a video with no audio description or even narration—just music.
