The Ray-Ban Meta Glasses is a range of smart glasses that work in conjunction with a smart phone app. We have been hearing excited murmurings about their potential benefits for blind and partially sighted people and now they will soon work in conjunction with the free service, Be My Eyes. This service connects visually impaired people with sighted volunteers to assist with daily tasks. What we are also hearing is that there is some confusion surrounding certain AI capabilities, especially as UK users had to wait before being told it that it can now be accessed here. The picture, however, is not the same for everybody and so we have brought together two visually impaired people who have the specs, to assess the issue.

The charity, Sight Scotland has tried to find a way to make the ancient practice of yoga accessible to blind and partially sighted people. Our reporter Ian Hamilton went along to a class in Edinburgh to find out more.

Website image description: Peter White sits smiling in the centre of the image and he is wearing a dark green jumper. Above Peter's head is the 麻豆社 logo (three separate white squares house each of the three letters). Bottom centre and overlaying the image are the words "In Touch" and the Radio 4 logo (the word Radio in a bold white font, with the number 4 inside a white circle). The background is a bright mid-blue with two rectangles angled diagonally to the right. Both are behind Peter, one is a darker blue and the other is a lighter blue.
