We're creating a world where technology empowers visually impaired fans to truly feel the game

In the UK, 43% of the 5.1 million vision impaired individuals are soccer fans.

This equates to over 2.2 million visually impaired individuals who share a passion for soccer, highlighting the critical need for enhanced accessibility and inclusivity within the world of sports.

Audio Descriptive Commentary (ADC) is an invaluable tool for visually impaired fans, but it can't fully capture the energy and excitement of a live game. Field Of Vision enriches this experience by merging ADC with tactile technology. Our devices track on-field action and translate it into touch-based feedback, providing a more immersive, all-encompassing experience of the sport. This combination of sound and touch brings the live game closer to visually impaired fans like never before.

 FAQs

  • Our device uses AI and computer vision technology to process key details from live sports games. This information is then transferred to the handheld device, enabling users to 'feel' the action through a moveable magnetic ball and a series of haptic motors.

  • The user holds the device and uses their sense of touch to understand the game's events. A moving ball tracks the live position of the sports ball, and vibrating motors convey other actions like shots, tackles, and passes.

  • Currently, our device has been tested with football, Australian rules football, and motorsports, with plans for further expansion into more of your favourite sports.

  • Stadiums can purchase the devices for a one-time cost and a yearly subscription that covers our match delivery service and device maintenance.

  • Our device is designed to augment ADC, rather than replace it. The combination of our device and ADC can give the vision impaired user the full match experience.
