Simple actions for most of us, but daunting hurdles for those with vision loss. In this video, Cybathlon pilot Lukas Hendry and ETH doctoral candidate Patrick Pfreundschuh from SightGuide take us through the cutting-edge technology they developed to tackle the tasks in the Vision Assistance Race at Cybathlon 2024.
