Visually impaired runners like Tilly Dowler are leveraging AI smart glasses, such as those from Ray-Ban and Oakley, to train for marathons like the London Marathon. These glasses provide real-time audio cues on landmarks and distance, allowing runners to navigate safely and independently. Sha Khan, who lost ninety percent of his vision, uses the glasses daily alongside his guide dog Moby. While the glasses offer enhanced awareness for activities, experts caution that they should be used in conjunction with human help and guide dogs, not as a full replacement. Privacy concerns and network strain during crowded events are also challenges to wider adoption.
