Paris Olympics embrace accessibility technology for visually impaired fans

As Paris shines under the global spotlight of the Olympic Games, technological innovations are enabling people with visual impairments to take it in. A standout innovation is the Vision Pad, a tactile tablet designed to add another layer of interaction for those with visual impairments. It features a moving magnetic ball, representing the ball in play on a court or a field. The tactile feedback allows users to follow the action. Low-Vision Helmets allow users to focus in on elements. And audio announcers describe the action in vivid detail. It's part of a larger effort to make Paris more accessible.
