Lumyeye on France 2 - Télématin

A January 2026 segment on France 2 (French public TV): Lumyeye identifies a cat on request, reads the signage in a hospital corridor, flags construction obstacles in Vision Live, and suggests a recipe from the contents of a fridge. With unprompted testimonials from French blind users.

Transcript and context

The Télématin segment broadcast on France 2 (French public TV) in January 2026 spotlights Lumyeye, the French app transforming daily life for blind and low-vision users. The crew follows several users through everyday moments and walks viewers through the concrete capabilities of the AI.

First scene: Lumyeye identifies a black-and-white cat sitting on a living-room chair, after the user taps the screen and asks "what's on the chair?". The app answers out loud. Minutes later, in another shot, the user points his iPhone at the signage of a hospital's medical wing: Lumyeye reads the directions to help him find his way down the corridor.

The segment continues outdoors: the user activates Lumyeye Pro's Vision Live and asks, "is there an obstacle in front of me?" — Lumyeye describes the construction barriers set up along the street. The final scene takes place in another user's kitchen: he photographs the contents of his fridge and asks, "what recipe can I make?". Lumyeye suggests a Kiri cheese cake based on the ingredients it reads.

The 2-minute feature centers on French blind users who speak about their experience without prompting — no staging, no marketing speech, just everyday gestures filmed in real conditions. Lumyeye is available on iPhone and Android starting at €14.90/month (roughly $16), with a free trial that requires no credit card.
