SightKick – rendre les jeux de société accessibles

253 million people worldwide are blind or visually impaired, and fewer than 8% of them read braille: most board games, which rely on visual cues, remain inaccessible to them without the help of a sighted player. Founded by Florent Weltzer with the Strasbourg studio La Crafterie Tech as technical partner, SightKick detects playing cards using computer vision and reads out their content, for a smooth, independent experience with no physical adaptation of existing games. More than 75 visually impaired players already use the beta app, and a collaboration is under way with the World Bridge Federation. Tango&Scan funding should enable the launch of V1 in autumn 2026 and a camera module to extend the solution to board games.
