Sight Guide

Sight Guide is a team from ETH Zurich, the University of Zurich and ZHAW. It developed a vision assistance system for blind people and competed with it at the Cybathlon 2024. The team needed a site that explains the project, shows the ten race tasks and gives its news a home.

The home page opens with a single line in large type over a photo from the race: accessibility meets technology.

The Front Door task as a 3D scene with a door, a table and a red marking, plus buttons for front and top view

The race tasks in 3D

The Cybathlon race has ten tasks, from the front door to the footpath. Each one is a small 3D scene with a short description, and you switch between front and top view.

Results at a glance

Third place, the Innovation and Usability Award of the jury and the top score of 70 points sit side by side as three cards. They fade in as you scroll.

The blog overview on a phone, with the heading Latest Blog Entries and the post Innovative Horizons

A blog from the team

The team reports on its progress, from the first task to the lessons of the year. The overview lists the posts with date and teaser, and it reads well on a phone.

The post Tackling Challenges with a light blue head and the start of the text below

Articles with room to read

Each post starts with a coloured head and then gives the text a calm column with short sections.

Result

A calm site in English with a mission, the race results, the tasks as small 3D scenes and a blog. Elements fade in as they come into view. It is built with Next.js and Motion, a different stack from our other projects.

Next.js builds the pages on the server and Vercel hosts them. In 2025 the team published its work in Science Robotics. The site is in English.
