A blind bloke just talking about life.

In this episode of Blind Man with a Backpack in Conversation with… I sit down with Tim Dixon, accessibility advocate and Head of Architecture for a global QA provider, to talk about adapting to sight loss through technology.

We share our experiences of being diagnosed with Cone Dystrophy, how we’ve introduced assistive tools into our working lives, and the creative ways we’ve adapted our homes — from smart lighting to radar‑guided canes and even Meta sunglasses.
