RunSight
AI glasses for visually impaired runners.
RunSight uses one camera to read the track, then speaks short cues so visually impaired runners can train with less dependence on a guide runner.

the problem
Indonesia still has a wide gap in disability sport participation. BPS recorded 22.97 million people with disabilities in 2023, including around four million people with visual impairments. Susenas data shows only 11.6% of people with disabilities exercise regularly, while the national target is 15% by 2029.
On a public track, a visually impaired runner often needs a guide runner for pace, direction, and safety. Our research found 15 pain points across navigation, accessibility, real-time accuracy, ergonomics, power, and cost. White canes miss track surface changes, GPS can drift 5 to 10 meters, and some devices are too heavy, too expensive, or last under two hours.

the system
intelligence
RunSight-AI
Three vision models run on the device to read the lane, detect people ahead, and estimate how close they are.
hardware
RunSight-Wearable
Camera glasses and a running vest. The vest carries the Raspberry Pi 5, Hailo AI accelerator, GPS, batteries, and earphones.
app
RunSight-Mobile
A screen-reader-friendly companion app for pairing the device, starting runs, reviewing distance, time, and routes, adjusting voice settings, setting weekly targets, and joining community features.

Status
In development
RunSight is still a prototype. The concept paper frames the goal clearly: an accurate, lightweight, energy-efficient, and affordable real-time guide that helps visually impaired runners train more independently on public tracks.
