Show: Thoughts on Tech & Things
Host: Jason Michael Perry
Guest: Rebecca Rosenberg, Founder & CEO of Rebokeh

Host Jason Michael Perry sits down with Rebecca Rosenberg, Founder & CEO of Rebokeh, to explore how technology is reshaping what it means to see — and what accessibility can teach us about innovation. From everyday tools like glasses to emerging vision and mobility technologies, they unpack how design that meets people where they are can expand independence, dignity, and opportunity.

Jason and Rebecca dig into the business and human sides of accessibility: why companies overlook a trillion-dollar market, how designing for difference can spark better products, and where frontiers like AI vision and neural implants might take us next. They also ask the big question — when technology doesn’t just restore ability but changes perception, what does that mean for being human?
