Spotlight: Glidance

[MUSIC PLAYING]

VOICEOVER: Spotlight: Glidance. Speakers: Amos Miller, founder and CEO of Glidance. Kyle Buzzard, co-founder and head of product for Glidance. Luke Buckberrough, co-founder and head of growth, Glidance.

AMOS MILLER: Hi, hello everyone. This is Amos Miller. I’m the CEO and original founder of Glidance, now co-founder alongside Luke and Kyle, from whom you’ll hear later on today. I’m just so excited to be here at SightTech Global and the Vista Center is always a wonderful event every year. I’m really excited to share with you what we’re doing here at Glidance. Before we jump in, I just wanted to share with you what we are doing here and why. There comes a time when something happens that changes everything. And I believe that we are now at the start of a new era. I would put it to you that if you imagine a city street, let’s say five, six, seven years down the line, you will see many, many more blind people out and about. People of all ages, walking confidently and with purpose. Some of them will be using a white cane, others will be using a guide dog, but many will be assisting. It’s a device. It’s not the friendly character in your ear that tells you what to do or body armor that you wear that vibrates from different angles. I also don’t think it’s going to be maybe a form of a humanoid that’s wearing a hat and walking around with you. These devices are going to be part of you, an extension of you. And they’re going to give you a chance to be a part of you. It’s going to give you a profound sense of independence, confidence, and flow when you’re out and about. I would also put it to you that these intelligent guides are going to be so easy to use, powerful, and affordable that anyone who is blind will be able to get out of their home without hesitation. And you all know what I’m talking about when I mean the hesitation when you sit at home and you’re wondering, ‘Am I going to go down to the shop or am I just going to call in for delivery? Am I going to visit that friend today or am I going to stay in today?’ These are questions that are going to be a part of the past. You will no longer hesitate before going out. You will just feel empowered to go. This is an inevitable future. It is going to happen. And the reason we are talking about it now is because this change is happening now. These intelligent guides are going to have a profound impact on everything. What does O&M training look like? What does safety look like? Will people buy these devices on Amazon and just walk? How do we expect the public to respond to them? Does it still symbolize that? How will these devices accelerate orientation and mobility training, empower our amazing O&M organizations that empower the blind, low vision community such that we can get many, many more people out and about? We definitely don’t have all the answers. Often we don’t have all the questions. And it really is a matter of time before we can get people out and about. And it really is on us here in these kind of discussions and engagements to explore these questions as a community, as we shape this exciting future together. As I said, my name is Amos Miller. I’m the CEO and original founder of Glidance. I’m blind. I lost my sight in my 20s as a result of a genetic eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa, which many of you will be familiar with. I’m on my sixth guide dog. His name is Boots. I started my guide dog’s journey in my mid-20s. I enjoyed a super exciting career in technology, computer science, and engineering. But I still find it difficult to get around. I always loved technology. I tried all kinds of things through the years, GPS and haptics. I even worked at Microsoft for many years, and some of you might be familiar with my work on Soundscape. And yet, when I sit there at the airport and I’m waiting for assistance and argue with my person with the wheelchair that I really don’t want to sit in the wheelchair, I still wonder, we have autonomous cars. We can get rovers on Mars. Where is that intelligent guide that can simply take me to my gate? And what I realized is that if we are going to navigate confidently, if somebody who lost their sight in their 50s and starting to get their head around what does orientation mean, to walk through a crowded space, the information that we get, even from the best AI and devices, is just not enough. It’s not enough to navigate and navigate your way through a crowded space with street furniture and everything. What we need is something that is physically connected to the ground and guides. And that is exactly what we’re working on at Glidance. So let me introduce Glide. Glide is a new primary mobility aid. It’s an autonomous intelligent guide and it uses autonomous driving technology to guide the way. It has those two wheels on the ground, a long handle. You hold the handle. You nudge the device forward as you walk. And as you begin to walk, the wheels autonomously begin to steer a little bit to the left, a little bit to the right, guiding you around the obstacle, along the path, keeping you safe on that path, helping you approach line-of-sight targets and ultimately getting you to your destination. And why is this important? Well, you’ve all been there trying to navigate a crowded space like a city street with people everywhere and street furniture, lampposts, trees. Glide is physically connected to the ground and guides you. It weaves you among the people, among the obstacles. You wouldn’t even know they’re there. When you cross the road, you might be worried about veering off. Glide will see the lines of the crossing, see the lines of the up-curb and guide you straight to the other side. If you’re getting out of an Uber, you need to find that door. Glide can detect line-of-sight targets and guide you to them. Inside, finding elevators. That’s what Glide is about. Incredibly powerful, very easy to use. That is why I believe that this is going to change everything. It is an inevitable future. Intelligent guides are going to be part of our data. They’re going to be part of today’s life before long, empowering many, many of us to get out and about. At this stage, I’d like to introduce Kyle, my co-founder and head of product, to walk you through the product. And after that, we’ll do a quick demo. Kyle, over to you.

KYLE BUZZARD: Hey, everyone. Kyle Buzzard here, co-founder and head of product. I’m here today to introduce you to the Glide product, tell you a little bit about how it works and some of the really cool features that we’re building into the new design. So for those not familiar with Glide, the device is about the size of a cantaloupe, two wheels that sit on the ground. There’s a stem up to a handle. You hold onto the handle with either your left or your right hand, and you simply start to walk. Glide at its core has technology that is able to detect obstacles, detect curbs, things of that nature, and create paths around obstacles to get you to your destination. That technology is really what we call sensible wayfinding, which we’ll talk a little bit more about here in a bit. To introduce you to the design, I have on the screen here the Glide device. This is our design codenamed Marie. So this is the latest design, and this was really informed by over 800 or so demos that we’ve done to date with the community all over the country so far. Some of the really key things about this design are the much larger wheels. So if you saw us at CES or CSUN this year, you saw one of the earlier designs had much smaller wheels. These wheels do a great job out on sidewalks, in the grass, being able to roll down small curbs and things like that. So these were a really good upgrade to the design, and this allows Glide to be a lot more all-terrain. You’ll notice also there is a handle on the front around kind of the front side. This serves a couple of purposes. One, you can use it as a handle to be able to carry Glide kind of upside down, which might be more comfortable. It also creates a kickstand. So when you tip the handle up, it kind of rests as a tripod on the wheels and then this front bar handle. And Glide is able to kind of stand up for you if you need to use both hands to pull out your credit card or do anything. Glide will just kind of remain in a standby position in that way. The bottom half of Glide, it’s kind of a soft rounded cylinder shape that’s about seven inches in diameter. The wheels are also seven inches in diameter. The bottom half of the Glide main device is really kind of a charcoal gray. There will be a USB-C charging port in that area as well as a power on-off button. So to charge your Glide, you use the same charger that you would for a smartphone with the USB-C connector. And that’s really so that you can’t have to have any special charging cables or a charging dock or anything kind of proprietary that you would need for Glide. You could borrow somebody’s charger at the airport, etc. So we’re imagining about a four hour total charge time, but we’ll have quick charge capability similar to a smartphone where you can kind of give it a bunch of juice really quickly and then it kind of takes a little bit longer to fill the entirety of the battery. As far as the battery life, we expect six plus hours of active use. So, with standby and kind of hibernation modes that we’re planning on, we anticipate that lasting a full day on a single charge for an active lifestyle, you know, 10,000 plus steps throughout your day. Moving on to some other design features, the bottom half I mentioned is a dark color gray. The top half of the main body is white. And then split in the middle is this, this glowing LED ring. So, this provides a lot of visibility if you’re walking around at night, other people will be able to see it very easily. We can also play with different colors here. We’ve talked about adding red or different colors that can signify different things. We’d love to hear your thoughts about how we might use that effectively. Moving up, you can see a handle here. There is a section, this is a telescoping stem. So what I’m doing now is I’m pressing a button that releases the telescoping, kind of like a tripod. So you can adjust it at inch increments up or down so that it’s a comfortable height for you, or all the way down makes it the most compact to be able to kind of sit between your feet in an Uber, on a train, a bus, or ultimately our plan is to be able to fit this into an overhead bin in an airplane if you’re traveling in an airplane with it. At the top, the handle is kind of a rounded triangular shape. There’s a black rubber grip around the top, and that integrates haptic feedback areas, which are isolated left and right. So you’ll be able to have haptics kind of buzz on the left side of your hand or the right side of your hand to give you feedback about, let’s say, upcoming turns or something like that. This design concept had a single button, but what we’ve learned is that we’re actually moving to three buttons. You can think about those as kind of a left, a right, and an enter in the middle. And some of the ways we’re going to do that is we’re thinking about using that. Let’s say you walk into a hotel lobby. You can ask Glide through voice recognition, ‘Glide, help me find the front desk.’ It will accept that. The camera will start looking for what it could recognize as a front desk using our AI. Once it recognizes it, it will be scanning as you’re walking around. It will recognize the front desk and say ‘front desk found’. And then it will create a route to go to the front desk. If you don’t have a particular thing in mind, coming back to those arrow buttons, let’s say you walk into that hotel lobby and you click the middle button to ask for potential targets that you might be interested in. In that example, based on what it could see with the current point of view of the camera, it could say something like front desk, elevator, couch. And in that instance, you could toggle kind of left and right to the one that you wanted. Let’s say elevator. You click the middle button, enter. It would create a route to take you to the elevator. One other thing you’ll notice in the handle or I’ll talk about here is a speaker and a microphone array. So this is meant to be extremely loud so that you could hear it outside. But there are going to be situations where it’s just too noisy or you just don’t want the speaker to be talking for discretion. So in that case, we are also adding Bluetooth to be able to connect to a headset. And that’s going to be agnostic of whatever style and brand as long as it can connect to Bluetooth. Lastly, as far as the technology, we’re moving to a stereo depth camera in the handle. This is shown as a mono, but we’re updating the design based on some of our recent testing and demonstrations. So the camera technology is really critical here. We’re moving to the stereo depth, as I mentioned. That also has IR. One of the benefits about this upgraded technology that we’re moving toward is the fact that we get a 3D point cloud. And with IR and the stereo depth, we also do a much better job in all different lighting conditions, including the dark, as far as being able to get all of the information that we need for overhead obstacles, for cliff detection, for object recognition, etc. However, we aren’t just relying on the camera. We do also have redundant sensors in the base. So up toward the top at the front, we’re putting in millimeter wave radar. These are pretty advanced sensors coming from the automotive technology space. Those also create 3D point clouds and are going to kind of give a backup to things like curb drop-off detection and obstacles. So the camera and the radar will be working together in all instances with a pretty wide field of view. The radar will have 190 degrees left, right, and front. The camera will have 90 degrees, and those will be working together to keep you safe as you’re walking, avoid obstacles, and recognize anything that it might need to steer around, or put on the brakes if it needs to. Let me know if I missed anything. Otherwise, the team here will be happy to also answer questions. But yeah, that’s the basics of Glide. You’ll hear a lot more about how you walk with Glide, what that experience is like, and how you interact with the device here in a little bit.

AMOS MILLER: All right, thank you. Kyle, thank you very much. This was great. I just wanted to give you a bit of an understanding of where we are and where we’re going. Glide is about just under a year before we expect to start shipping the device to our pioneers, the folks who pre-ordered the device. Where we are right now is that we have completed our Alpha device. We’ve been showing over the last year a series of prototypes from CES through CSUN, the NFB and the ACB conventions in our various demo days, the evolution of the product, each prototype can do more. We’ve been taking a ton of feedback from everyone. And the Alpha device is really the first prototype that represents what the product will ultimately become. From Alpha, we expect to get to Beta in the January timeframe and really start to test the device with people. And as we go into manufacturing and start to ship the devices later next autumn. But one of the things that’s really important for us is to enable you to have a clear understanding of how the product will work. And more importantly, to give you a chance to feedback about how the product works and what it does so that we can make sure that we’re building it in the right way. And to do that, we’re going to run a video that illustrates a scenario. It’s going to be me going to get juice from a store. And you’ll see how the device behaves in different situations. This is a canvas. It’s an illustration. It’s not a working product. It’s a video that gives you a sense for how the product will work. And I hope you enjoy it. Luke, over to you to walk us through the product.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: Hi, I’m Luke Buckbro, one of the co-founders of Glidance. In today’s video, I’m going to walk you through how we’re expecting Glide to be used to get around and to give you a glimpse into the overall experience of using Glide. These videos are designed to illustrate using prototypes and explanations representing current thinking and feedback we’ve received from the Glider community. So please keep in mind the detail can always change as we learn. Without further ado, let’s take Glide for a walk. In this view, we see Amos Miller sitting on a bench along a pedestrian sidewalk in his local neighborhood lined with many shops and people walking by. Glide is standing upright next to him. Amos is taking Glide on a familiar route today to his favorite store to pick up a refreshing smoothie. Because Amos is on a familiar route, Glide is in freestyle mode. This means he didn’t request Glide to guide him on a route. He’ll be deciding which way to go. Freestyle is Glide’s default mode of use. Unless you select a route, you are freestyling. Amos is ready to walk on his familiar route to the juice shop. Now, standing on the sidewalk with Glide to his left in the resting position, leaning on the front bumper with the handle vertical to the ground, he grabs onto Glide’s handle with his left hand. He slowly pulls the handle back 45 degrees to the ground and is now in walking position. At this position, Glide will sound a confirmation chime. The confirmation chime is accompanied with a haptic buzz in the handle and is designed to give him the confidence that he is in position and Glide is ready to go. Amos nudges Glide forward and begins to walk. Remember, Glide is not pulling you, you are pushing it, always in control of your speed and pace. After a few seconds, Glide announces to him, accompanied by a double haptic tap in the handle. Finding the line assures the user that Glide has a clear understanding of the path, its boundaries, and any obstacles, ensuring a safe route as you walk ahead. As Amos walks, Glide’s wheels are steering a little to the left, a little to the right to keep him on a safe and straight route. That’s until Glide’s camera spots a restaurant happy hour sign in the way of his path. Glide’s wheels steer him around it, avoiding the obstacle and getting him back on that line. As he continues to walk forward, Amos is about to pass people walking by the sidewalk. It’s a little narrow, so Glide gave him a short buzz in the handle and increased resistance on the wheels just to indicate to slow down a little bit. Okay, he passed the people and it’s all clear. He begins to walk at a normal pace again. The sidewalk is relatively smooth. There are bumps and things that Amos can still feel through the handle, although Glide’s wheels are large enough to easily go over them. Amos is simply just walking forward, and Glide is effortlessly adjusting its wheels to keep him on track. You can really see how confidently and purposefully he’s moving. Glide sees he’s approaching the end of the block and can see an intersection coming up in about 15 feet or 5 meters.

VOICEOVER: Sidewalk left, crosswalk ahead, crosswalk right.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: When approaching an intersection, Glide is designed to detect the possible options and announce them to him. He knows to turn left, so he presses the left button in the handle under his fingers to confirm to Glide that he’ll take the option to the left. Glide confirms.

VOICEOVER: Sidewalk left.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: Glide’s wheels begin to slightly turn left, shorelining against the wall until the turn opens. Once Glide sees the path ahead, it’ll take the turn onto the left of the sidewalk.

VOICEOVER: Found the line.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: Amos continues his walk along the block with the road to his right and the building line on the left and is keeping a good pace. Let’s quickly review some features here. Freestyle navigation. Freestyle is Glide’s default mode of use. Unless you select a route, you are freestyling. Glide’ll keep you on a safe path, avoiding obstacles, but to look for your input on turning left, right, or crossing intersections to get to your final destination. Target and position. Path detection. Finding the line. Glide will always notify you when it’s found the line ahead, making sure you feel safe and confident and that Glide is doing a good job. Amos is approaching the end of the next block and here he plans to cross the road to his right.

VOICEOVER: Sidewalk left. Crosswalk ahead. Crosswalk right.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: He selects the right option, thereby selecting the crosswalk on his right as his target. Glide confirms his selection and makes his selection.

VOICEOVER: Tracking crosswalk.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: He begins to feel a gentle haptic buzz in the handle grip. This is called the tracking buzz and it’s Glide’s way of telling him, I’ve got the target, follow me. Glide first guides him a little to the left to avoid a pillar and line him up to approach the curb on his right. He feels the increased resistance in the wheels telling him to slow down and Glide will apply the brakes to bring him to a complete stop right at the end of the curb.

VOICEOVER: Crosswalk reached.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: Let’s review some features here. Target selection. Glide is constantly losing its camera to find your targets. Tracking buzz. Glide is making sure you know it’s found its target ahead and is taking you to it. Target approach. Glide will line you up to perfectly approach the target you seek. Wading across, Amos keeps Glide in position while he assesses the traffic. The traffic is quiet. He squeezes the button in the handle to unlock the brakes and begins to cross the road. Glide is keeping him nice and straight on the crosswalk, staying within the outline zone and colored lines on either side. The tracking buzz in the handle tells him that Glide is targeting the curb on the other side.

VOICEOVER: Crosswalk complete.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: Amos turns right to go to the juice shop.

VOICEOVER: Found the line.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: Let’s review some features. Squeeze to unlock. Glide wants you, the user, to be confident of your choice and the surroundings, and is taking extra precautions to make sure that when crossing roads or intersections you feel it’s safe to do so as well. Road crossing. Glide’s camera sees the other side of the intersection, targets it, and keeps the user on a safe path to the other side, keeping them away from the street and in between the crosswalk lines. Amos is still in freestyle mode, walking along the block heading to the store. The building then shops to his left with the road on his right. He knows the juice store is approaching his left, and when he feels he’s getting close, he squeezes the handle button and requests, ‘Hey Glide, find the door.’ Glide responds with a haptic buzz to confirm it is searching. Amos angles the device and the camera to the left to allow the camera to scan the area and find the door. Targeting door. He feels the tracking buzz, and they walk confidently to the door. Glide is lining Amos up to walk towards the door handle. As he gets closer to the door, he feels the resistance in the wheels and slows down until the brakes come to a complete stop. Door reached. Amos puts his hands out, finds the handle and opens the door. As he walks into the store, he squeezes the button and requests, ‘Hey Glide, find the counter.’ Glide double buzzes to confirm.

VOICEOVER: Targeting counter.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: Amos walks to the counter until the brakes turn on and Glide has reached the counter.

VOICEOVER: Counter reached.

LUKE BUCKBERROUGH: Amos orders his smoothie and his one happy camper. Glide is trained to detect a wide range of potential targets that you can request it to locate and guide you to. To summarize, in the past few videos, we learned how Glide works in freestyle mode. When you walk on a path, for example, a sidewalk, Glide finds the line and guides you while avoiding obstacles. When Glide detects potential targets and range, it offers you a choice, and you select which option to take by guiding Glide towards it. However, Glide practices intelligent disobedience until it indicates it is safe to take those turns. We saw how Glide assists you in approaching the curb and crossing the road efficiently without a concern that you veer off. And finally, we learned how you can ask Glide to find primary targets in your surrounding and Glide locates them and guides you to them. Most importantly, Amos has his smoothie, feels refreshed, and is ready to take Glide on its next adventure. Hey everyone, my name is Luke Buckborough, one of the co-founders as well and head of growth here at Glidance, and I’m so excited to be wrapping up our SiteTech Global 20/24 session with you all. I want to give a quick shout out, thank you, and massive appreciation for everyone at the Vista Center for putting this together. Coray, you and your team do so much. We’re so appreciative and thank you for all you do for the community and for all the hard work you’ve done with Glidance thus far. We are especially excited to be doing our Glide Demo Day with the Vista Center tomorrow at their San Jose location. So if anyone’s hearing that on the call for the first time, feel free to pop by. We are so excited to further connect with our current Glider community. And potentially a few new Gliders that we meet on this call today. But without further ado, what I’d love to do to wrap us up today is really give us an idea in terms of what a Glider has meant to us and the impact it’s meant to the business from our past, present, and future, and how we’re really going to take what it means to be a Glider in 2024 to what it means to be a Glider in 2025. But before I do that, I would love to ask everyone on the call a question: Who here has ever purchased a product and upon purchase, and upon getting that product, the excitement and the anticipation that you’ve waited to try it, it falls flat? There’s things that you change. There’s things that you would have done differently. There’s things that you wish you could have told someone about. There’s things that you wish, you know, aren’t even there. Well, here at Glidance, we didn’t want that to happen with Glide. We wanted to change that process completely and do the exact opposite. How? By building Glide completely out in the open, pulling the curtains back and allowing anyone who’s willing to share their perspective, their ideas, their opinions, come on into our team. And how have we done that? Well, we introduced something called a Glider. And you might ask, what is a Glider? Well, from the get-go, we wanted a Glider to be more than a customer. We wanted a Glider to be a team member truly with us on this journey. We wanted a Glide member to feel like a contributor, to really feel like a partner on this journey and to really feel like when they get Glide into their hands, that they feel as though that they had a part in doing it. And my goodness me, could we not have been more excited, more proud and truly thankful and appreciative for what the Glider community has meant to us. In January of this year, we debuted our third prototype at the CES, the Consumer Electronics Show at Vegas, not only taking home an accessibility award, but more importantly, planting the seed for what would be an incredible journey to where we are today. To give you real numbers, we had about 180 Gliders in our network in January, and since then have grown that to over 6,500, not just in the US, worldwide. And that’s really because of all of you on this call. Word of mouth, speaking to friends, going on podcasts, making your own videos, talking about our product. And what I think is really interesting is the impact that it’s had on us as employees, on us as team members, on us as our culture, on us as a business. Well, let’s go through that. Since January, we’ve held 12 Glider Zoom calls. And what Glider Zoom calls are, is they’re a chance for you, anyone, to join on our team meeting. We talk about our product iteration. We update you on new features. We update you on the development process. More importantly, we spend almost even more time allowing you to tell us what you think about our ideas than us telling you themselves. And what that has led to is the incredible amount of information for our product team to develop and continuously build the best version of Glider there can be. We are not experts. Asamoah famously says, sometimes we don’t have answers to questions and even sometimes we don’t have questions. So, what we’re always doing is involving you in the process, listening with two ears, one mouth, and allowing you, the glider, to provide as much feedback as you possibly can. We’ve also done this thing called the Glide Demo Days, which you’ll learn a lot more about tomorrow. But really, that was a chance for us not only to talk about the process digitally, but really allow people to get their hands on the device, feel the wheels, feel the base, put their hands on different styles of handles, and tell us what you think about the physical product in real-time. More importantly, get to try Glide for yourself. We kicked that off in New York this year with the Helen Keller Services and could not have been more appreciative and really surprised at the turnout. Every single Demo Day, we have a massive amount of people showing up, not only from the place in which the Demo Day is being held, but from places hours, if not, you know, flights away. And that’s been so incredible to see. And really more importantly, the feedback, the excitement. I always like to say, you know, we travel more than most, but you all make the travel so worth it. So just to give a quick update, Demo Days have just begun. We’re going to be making sure that we’re on the ground even more than we are in 2024, as in 2025. So reach out, ask us where you are, tell us what you want, and we’ll do our best to make sure we get to a city near you. But really, to kind of speak more about what that impact has had from a greater landscape of our business is our race. As we all know, technology is incredibly exciting, but there is a cost to it, and developing this is definitely not cheap. So what you have all done for us is you’ve given us momentum. You’ve given us excitement that we could bottle up and take to investors. And what they have done is they have been incredibly excited. Thus far, we’ve raised $1. 4 million in a pre-seed round, not just from non-profits or people that felt like they had an emotional reaction to the product, but some of the biggest names in early-stage investing in robotics. Grep VC, Proto Ventures, Greenwood & Cavalier, these are people who invest in some of the technologies that change society, and they see Glide as being one of those. And it’s because of you, Gliders, that you have provided us that opportunity to do so. I think more importantly, though, what you’ve really done is you’ve proven this idea of building a product out in the open. The emails we get about people saying, it finally feels like you’re doing this right. It feels like I’m a part of something. It feels like I have hope. It feels like I’m excited to give my feedback and that you’re actually listening. It really feels like we’re building something different. And it really feels like we’re meeting this moment of developing a technology out in the open with a community, for the community, by the community. And so to all of the Gliders who’ve been on this journey with us in 2024, I thank you. We thank you. We still need you. So I have a bit of an ask. For any Glider who’s been with us in 2024, for any founding Glider, for any Glider who’s pre-ordered, don’t stop now. Continue to show up. Continue to give your feedback. Continue to give us your good, bad, and the ugly. Challenge us always because we still have a year to go until we launch Glide in all markets. And why that matters is if we do it now, before we run into manufacturing, before we decide to finalize certain elements of this, we can still change it. So tell your friends, tell your family members, reach out to organizations, talk about Glide. By doing so, go on our website, glidens. io, register to become a Glider today to really become, again, a partner, a contributor, a team member on this journey. More importantly, follow us on our social media platforms to really get an in-depth, real-time view of what it’s like to show up to our Glide demo days, our virtual demo days, behind-the-scenes footage that we won’t have in our newsletters. Lastly, for anyone who has pre-ordered Glide, get ready because next year is going to be a big one. We’re going to be working with you in ways that we won’t with others because we really want to make sure that when the product lands into your hands in September of 2025, you, the user who has put a pre-order in, feels as though part of the process and felt heard. For anyone who has not yet pre-ordered, we won’t be ending that until December 31st, 2024 of this year. If you have questions, please reach out. We have payment plans. We have opportunities in order to really get involved in a different way. And most importantly, if you don’t, do not worry. You will always and forever be a Glider. We know that one day we’ll have Glide in your hands and you will be part of that journey no matter what. So, for everyone on this call, I thank you so much for your time today. The Vista Center, again, thank you. Thank you for having us. This journey has been filled with so many exciting moments, and what I’m even more incredibly excited about is all the more to come next year. 2024 has marked an incredible time for Glide, both from our team’s formation and from our Glider community’s formation, and more importantly, the momentum that we’re building around the product, the idea, the team, the way we’re building it, and really, the way that we’re taking technology. I wish everyone a happy holiday season. I wish you a fantastic end to 2021. 2024, and I cannot wait to see you all in 2025.
