gizmodo.com: For years, blind and low-vision sports fans have been limited to audio play-by-play commentary to follow their favorite teams. But that isn’t always ideal. Audio feeds can lag behind the action, miss key moments, leaving fans having to repeatedly ask friends or family for clarification on what’s going on the field or court.

This is so awesome! I am so glad that the NFL is making the biggest sporting event of the year more accessible! This year’s Superbowl is going to be so good! This product sounds like it provides a tactile experience for various sports. The article stated that they have done football and basketball. I wonder if they will expand to other popular sports like baseball, hockey, and soccer? I am also wondering if this is something that patrons can request at the stadium, similar to the hearing assistance devices at theatres. Additionally, I really hope that they are able to do something for Bad Bunny’s halftime show. The article only talked about translating the match into a tactile medium, however I think they should totally do the halftime show too! I am wondering if this medium could have any applications outside of sports too? Maybe they could adapt it for TV, movies, and theatre too!
