Say hello to Glide...

Say Hello to Glide. The Smart Primary Mobility Aid.

Introducing the world’s first intelligent guide for people who are blind or have low vision.

A Smarter Way to Navigate

Glide is a new category of primary mobility aid—using advanced technology built from the ground up for navigating complex pedestrian environments. Quick to learn, easy to use and affordable, it offers the blind and low vision community a genuine third option alongside the cane or guide dog.

With two all-terrain wheels and an adjustable telescoping handle, you simply nudge Glide forward and let it steer the way. Glide physically guides you through familiar and new environments, avoiding obstacles and hazards, describing your surroundings, and identifying key information as you move.

Whether it’s a trip to the local store, a walk through the park, or navigating a busy airport, Glide gives you the freedom to move independently, confidently, and on your own terms.

Navigate Indoors & Outdoors

Simply start walking and let Glide intelligently steer the way. Move at your own pace and without veering, whether on a familiar route or following guided navigation inside or outside.

Maintain a Line & Avoid Obstacles

Maintain a purposeful line while seamlessly navigating around obstacles and hazards—from small drop-offs and cracks to overhead branches and signs.

Glide finds key targets and steers you towards them, taking you those last few feet to your destination.

Navigate Intersections & Road Crossings

Identify crosswalks and stay on target without veering until you reach the other side. No crosswalk? Glide's road crossing features can help you navigate even those tricky ones with ease.

Community Voices

Jessica Barr, Boston, MA.

"Glide prevented me from veering, which I tend to do often when traveling with my cane, and guided me smoothly and effortlessly around groups of people and obstacles. It will help me navigate more confidently and efficiently, and I can't wait to get mine and start using it!"

Ardis Bazyn, Denver, CO.

"It's like a guide dog experience without the maintenance and issues (cabs, restaurants, etc.)!"

We’re with you, every step of the way.

Glide is not just another smart product; it’s a personal journey fueled by a passion for breaking barriers to independent mobility for the blind and low vision community.

When Glidance Founder and CEO Amos Miller lost his sight in his 20s due to retinitis pigmentosa (RP) while getting his Computer Science degree, he refused to let it hold him back.

As a product executive at Microsoft Research for more than 15 years and founder of Microsoft’s Soundscape navigation app, Amos has dedicated his career to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible through technology.

His approach is reflective of ours as a company; we lead with empathy, curiosity, inclusivity, and a deep desire to help everyone who is blind or has low vision experience life in bold new ways.
