Greta & Starks enable blind or deaf people to watch films in the cinema or in their own living room. While Starks plays special subtitles on the user's smartphone that are synchronised with the film, Greta provides blind audiences with so-called “audio descriptions”. Both applications automatically sync with the film. Users don't need any additional hardware for this, only their smartphone – the apps can be downloaded for free. In this interview with Projekt Zukunft, founder Seneit Debese explains how the apps work and how she was able to develop her innovative software and hardware projects in part thanks to different funding instruments available in Berlin.
