Three companies, OneCourt, Field of Vision, and Touch2See, are innovating tactile devices that aid visually impaired spectators in following live sports. Motivated by viral videos showing how companions guide blind individuals across mimicked soccer pitches, these founders have created technologies to convert on-field actions into tactile sensations. Despite differing methodsâTouch2See utilizing performance data from professional clubs and Field of Vision using low-latency camerasâall aim to make sports more accessible, affordable, and engaging for visually impaired audiences, transforming their experience of watching games.
Instead of quickly becoming yesterday's news like most others, those videos gave the founders the same idea: to create a device that would change how visually impaired people watch sport forever.
You can't have hundreds of people doing that one-for-one, so we thought: how can we scale this up and make it more affordable, more accessible, and more pertinent to the modern world?
