Let Glide empower your movement.
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.
