Julian Vargas submitted his last Breaking Blindness Barriers for 2024, also known as the Holiday Hangout. He covers a legal case and then rolls into Ray-ban Meta! Hear meeting participants give tips and tricks you may not have known. If you were in the Zoom Room listen anyway to make sure you didn’t miss anything. Lots of good stuff! We’re heading into year end. Happy holidays from AIRSLA!
