#177 Action Audio: Revolutionising sports for audiences with visual impairments

️ On today's episode of The SportsTech AllStars Podcast we
are joined by Tim Devine, Co-Founder of Action Audio, the
world-first system for augmenting live sports with sound,
designed to give people who are visually impaired the ability to
follow games in real-time.





Tim talks about his diverse background in music, sound design and
sports, and how that confluence led him to co-founding a system
in this space. He talks about Action Audio's work with multiple
major tennis tournaments such as the Australian Open and the U.S.
Open, and more recently with the NBA's Launchpad program and
more.





Developed in partnership with ⁠Tennis
Australia⁠ and ⁠Monash University⁠, Action Audio uses
data from a ball monitoring computer vision system to emphasise
key moments of play with a 3D sound design system that has been
developed with the blind and low vision community. For many
visually impaired sports fans, Action Audio will provide the
first opportunity to follow the speed and actions of a live game.
