Steven Scott and Shaun Preece chat with ACB’s Scott Thornhill and Kolby Garrison about technology, accessibility, and what it’s like to truly be part of the action. In this engaging Double Tap episode, Steven and Shaun discover how OneCourt is changing live sports for blind fans. Scott Thornhill and Kolby Garrison from the American Council of the Blind share their first-hand Super Bowl experience, describing how the OneCourt device uses haptic feedback, braille yard markers, and live radio integration to provide real-time play tracking. The conversation also explores the excitement of attending massive sporting events, the cognitive load of navigating stadiums, and the potential of OneCourt for home use and multiple sports like NBA basketball, Major League Baseball, and football.
