CHALLENGE

There was a big problem with blind soccer. The problem was that there was no system for visually impaired people to enjoy watching a match as spectators rather than as players. So
we developed three devices that expand the spectator experience with touch.

ABOUT

Haptic Field is a small stadium that can be placed on your lap. The position of the ball is detected by a camera that can see the entire stadium. This information is then reproduced on the Haptic Field. By touching this small field with their hands, spectators can experience the movement of the ball during the game in real time.

ABOUT

Kick Tap is a small haptic device that uses FM radio waves. By adding the element of vibration to the live commentary, you can feel the dynamic movements of the athletes in a more realistic way. The device itself is very compact and easy to carry, so it can be distributed in places where many people gather, such as stadiums.

RESULT

The best part of watching sports is sharing the excitement of the game. However, in blind football, spectators are not allowed to cheer out loud.
WOW BALL is a device that allows you to share the excitement of cheering without making any sound. It has a simple mechanism of a ball: when one rubber ball is pushed, the other balls inflate, allowing spectators to intuitively share the excitement.
