Sightra

Sightra is an assistive technology solution developed to help people who are blind or have low vision navigate their surroundings with greater independence, awareness, and confidence. The platform combines computer vision, AI-powered environmental understanding, and real-time audio guidance to help users identify objects, interpret nearby scenes, and access contextual information through voice. It also supports navigation through Google Maps directions and aims to make assistive technology more accessible through conversational, multilingual experiences suited to African communities. Sightra bridges the gap between digital intelligence and real-world accessibility. By combining a mobile application with a smart mobility device under development, we are building toward an integrated assistive ecosystem that helps users make informed decisions about their surroundings while reducing dependence on constant human assistance. Our vision is to make intelligent, affordable, and locally relevant assistive technology accessible to underserved communities.
