""They are AI assisted. While running, I can ask for live cues, such as what landmarks are around me and how far I have run.""
""I can put my music on but still be able to listen to my guide runner.""
""My mission was to inspire other people with sight loss and people going through something really tough and inspire them to believe in themselves.""
""It's like literally having a second pair of eyes, helping me navigate the world around me while I train and live my life.""
Tilly Dowler, who has Stargardt disease and limited vision, began running last year and is now training for the London Marathon with AI-powered smart glasses. These glasses provide audio feedback and navigation cues, allowing her to run with her guide. Dowler's mission is to inspire others facing challenges, particularly those with sight loss. The use of AI-enabled smart glasses is growing among visually impaired runners, combining technology with everyday life, despite privacy concerns surrounding their use.
