What is a Glide "Virtual Demo Day"?

In collaboration with the NFB of Ohio, Glidance <http://www.glidance.io>  is
extending an open invitation to join us for a free interactive and
informational "Virtual Demo Day" to learn about Glide

mobility aid designed to help the blind and low vision community navigate
more confidently, comfortably, and safely.

You'll have a unique opportunity to meet the Glidance team, hear the story
behind the device, and get a detailed physical description and

at the end, as well as an opportunity to share feedback and ideas with the
team!
