At Banter Podcast

For the last AT Banter episode of the year, Rob, Ryan, Steve, and Lis reunite and compare holiday plans before being joined by Dhaval Patel of Lotus Labs, creator of the Lotus Ring—a point‑and‑click wearable that controls your home without apps, rewiring, or Wi‑Fi. Dhaval shares how a late‑night struggle to turn off a light sparked the idea, why renters, pregnant parents, people with disabilities, and Stevie Wonder himself have all influenced the design, and how “optimizing for disability first” leads to simpler, more universal tech for everyone. Happy Holidays to all our listeners and thanks for another amazing year!
