Imagine experiencing a basketball game through your fingertips, not your eyes. That’s the premise—and the promise—of OneCourt.
This innovative device gives visually impaired fans a new way to 'watch' live basketball. No screens. No commentary. Just real-time, tactile feedback.
On its surface, OneCourt resembles a scaled-down basketball court. But here, data rules: moving pieces and vibrations let users track the ball, player motion, and game-altering shots as they happen.
The secret sauce? Seamless sync with live games. As key plays unfold, OneCourt translates them instantly into touch-based cues. Movement is mapped; suspense is tangible. Wild, right?
Portland became the first team to back this technology, making live sports tactile for all fans.
For a fanbase often sidelined by inaccessible broadcasts, this tech is a major power shift. It’s not just about inclusion—it’s about agency. The mechanism turns passive listening into active, strategic engagement.
By blending haptics and live data, OneCourt doesn’t merely serve the visually impaired. It carves out a new market for accessible basketball accessibility devices—potentially changing league partnerships and viewing habits.
As more teams consider adoption, one question looms: could this become standard across sports? Right now, OneCourt is mapping new territory—literally and figuratively. Classic clutch moment for innovation.
