The Future Is for Everyone: Meta and CNIB Partner to Support Canadians Who Are Blind, Deafblind or Have Low Vision
https://about.fb.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/cnib_x_meta___ms4_-_rev_3_picture_lockcc_eng-2160p.mp4 We believe the future is for everyone. That’s why Meta is partnering with CNIB – a non-profit founded in 1918 that empowers Canadians impacted by blindness to live their dreams – to help bring the benefit of AI glasses to more Canadians who are blind, Deafblind or have low vision. The goal of the partnership is to help people who are blind, Deafblind or have low vision explore the possibilities of AI wearable technology, and draw on the knowledge, expertise and lived experience of the community to shape a more accessible future. Funding from Meta will support CNIB in four areas: Listening to the community: Engaging people across Canada to understand their experiences, and how AI glasses can support greater independence in everyday life. Supporting community champions: Supporting Canadians who are blind, Deafblind or have low vision to lead in-person peer training and demonstrations, and gather candid product feedback in their communities. Informing product development: Sharing community insights with Meta’s accessibility and product teams to help improve future technology.
