The camera at eye level. The computer in a running vest.
The camera sits on the glasses. The computer, battery and GPS ride in a running vest, while spoken guidance reaches the runner through an earphone. A phone is not required during the run.
A Raspberry Pi, an AI accelerator, and a printed case. That is the entire computer.
Specifications
RunSight uses widely available components so the prototype can be repaired or rebuilt without custom electronics.

Controls
It works with your hands, not your eyes.
A run can start, pause and end without sight and without the phone. Every action is confirmed out loud.
- Tap
- Starts a run when the device is ready, and ends the one in progress. The phone is optional.
- From the app
- Pause and resume travel over Bluetooth while a run is active, and the session stays open.
- Hold
- Emergency stop. Valid from any state, announced immediately, and it always wins.
- Hold 3s when idle
- Clears the pairing so another phone can claim the device. Otherwise, first claim wins.
From a printed case to a wearable prototype.
The case, the camera mount and the glasses bracket are 3D-printed. Everything else bolts in.
