Pioneering The Future of Mobility…

Here at Glidance, we are a team that’s passionate about using technology to remove barriers to mobility for millions of people. We invite you to  <https://glidance.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=be9d4a3f45c4c8fbb12745e78&id=3ddfcbeaf5&e=14581180f1&i=87306d7bea> connect with us if you haven’t already!

We believe everyone deserves the freedom to move confidently, which is why - in collaboration with our 5,000+ community of individuals who are blind or have low vision -  we’ve designed Glide to be extraordinarily functional, easy to use, and seamless to learn.

Yet, rather than hear it from us, we wanted to share what our earliest prototype users had to say about their experience:

"I felt more confident and free than I have ever felt with the cane. It was also easy on my wrists, where I have tendentious on both sides."

- Sarah M. 

“It’s like a guide dog experience without the maintenance and issues.”

- Ardis Bazyn

"It brought tears to my eyes to see my husband walk independently. What an incredible device!" 

- Candace W.

Glide lets you walk with confidence. Our AI uses real-time data from an array of advanced sensors to map the best routes, identify targets of interest, and avoid obstacles to get you safely to your destination.

Easy to Learn.

Just walk naturally and let Glide intelligently steer the way. Its intuitive design ensures a smooth and effortless experience, allowing you to focus on the journey, not the obstacles.
