As Paris shines under the global spotlight of the Olympic Games, technological innovations are enabling people with visual impairments to take it in.
Each Olympic venue is a mosaic of singular stories, from the athletes to the spectators. Even before the Paralympic Games begin later this month, Paris 2024 organizers strove to make the Olympics more accessible.
"For these Games, we wanted to carefully listen to the ecosystem of people with disabilities," said Ludivine Munos, a former Paralympic swimming medalist responsible for integrating accessibility as part of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games Organizing Committee.
"Our goal is precisely to provide an experience with as few barriers as possible. People with disabilities have specific needs and sometimes find it difficult to understand what is happening on the field," she said.
