Finally the blind can get into the game | |
Don't get me wrong. Radio announcers
can do a good job of describing the
plays,
but the blind person can only wonder.
With this technology, they can really get
a
"feel" for the game. First get indicators
for
players in the field. Infrared, radio,
something small and inconspicuous.
Next,
send the signal to a live relief map with
the same dimensions as the field. The
ball/puck/whatever also is tracked, and
the blind can feel where the players are
and where the ball is going. Could also
transmit over radio, so any blind person
anywhere would be able to feel the game
in action. Players might be distinguished
with one bump for home, two bumps for
visitor, and an X for the ball. Lines to
indicate field boundaries, markings,
goals,
etc. You could press a player/bump and
get their stats (in braille) in a window
next to the
field.
