The architecture of Vid2Coach addresses six core design goals established by observing Vision Rehabilitation Therapies (VRTs). It converts standard passive video data into an active, conversational ecosystem split into three specialized layers.
To understand the practical utility of Vid2Coach, consider a BLV user attempting to slice bell peppers based on a standard YouTube tutorial. The system segments the task into three distinct auditory and conversational channels, providing instructions, accessible RAG-driven tips for safety, and real-time, vision-driven progress feedback to correct mistakes.
