In this week’s Swipe, Chris Creegan looks at how technology is making life easier for blind and visually impaired people

While Sean Dilley, who lost all functional vision nearly two decades ago, tests out an audio-based guidance system being trialled on the London Underground.

Our tech news round-up includes the stretchy electronic plasters of the future and a water bottle that tells you when to keep hydrated.

And Gavin Inskip has some winter-themed titles in our games review to get you in the Christmas spirit.
