Problem
Most accessibility initiatives for people with vision impairments attempt to bypass vision altogether, yet 90% of individuals with vision impairments have some amount of usable, functional vision. Audio and tactile accessibility options leave many low-vision people underserved, limiting their independence and engagement in public spaces.

ReBokeh helps individuals make the most of their usable vision through a customizable smartphone-based platform. The ReBokeh All-Access product uses geofencing technology to automatically unlock the platform's full feature set for anyone entering a partner venue, working on their own personal device without requiring downloads or logins. Users can seamlessly customize their visual experience, including contrast enhancement, magnification, and AI-powered scene descriptions, to navigate and engage with their surroundings more independently.
