Feel The Game.
From the amount of swerve on a free kick, to the strength of a tackle, our haptic technology enables visually impaired football fans to feel the action for themselves, without relying solely on a commentator’s interpretation. Our advanced computer vision model ensures that the game is delivered to the fans in real time.
How it works
How we bring the action on the field to the device.
Track
Our specialised algorithm uses computer vision to track the location of the ball on the pitch.
Connect
These exact coordinates find the location of the ball and send it to our device in real time.
Move
Our device uses this location to move a physical finger-piece that matches the position of the ball in the game.
Feel
Haptic motors combined with auditory feedback further immerses the user in the match.
