Hi, we're Eyerobic.

We're building a assistive headband to help visually impaired people exercise safely and independently. Our goal is to empower exercise for everyone.

Eyerobic Headband

Exercise has never been easy for the 338 million people worldwide with visual impairments. Two of the most affordable forms of exercise, swimming and running, still demand constant assistance from sighted partners. Thus, people with visual impairments are twice as likely to forgo exercise and face a higher risk of various chronic health issues.

Eyerobic is a dual-purpose assistive headband that helps visually impaired people swim and run. Our prototype has three main components:

Bone conduction allows for underwater usage and full awareness of surroundings, which is crucial for visually impaired people.

For swimming, our frontal camera tracks the center T-marker in the pool. The left headphone vibrates if the user drifts rightward, and vice versa. Both headphones vibrate to signal an approaching wall. Unlike other assistive devices, Eyerobic provides complete real-time guidance with minimal delay.

We're actively working on improving the prototype and expanding its range of applications.

We've been recognized as Conrad Challenge finalists (25/4700 teams) and placed top 30 in the BlueOcean competition (12000+ participants).
