Denver Nuggets pilot tactile tech so blind & low-vision fans can feel live gameplay!
This is what inclusion actually looks like.
This week, the Denver Nuggets, in partnership with Ticketmaster and Seattle-based accessibility startup OneCourt, debuted a hand-interactive haptic device at the arena.
Blind and low-vision fans can now feel the game as it happens...plays, movement, momentum, all of it through real-time vibrations in their hands. Same arena. Same energy. A completely new way to experience live sports.
This matters because it’s not a side demo or a special event.
It’s mainstream entertainment making room at the table.
When accessibility is built into the experience, not bolted on after, everyone wins.
It’s also a reminder of what’s possible when we design from lived experience:
Better tools.
Richer experiences.
Less friction.
Big respect to everyone involved in making this happen.
Curious, has anyone ever experience a live sporting event through something like this? What was it like?
