Even after closing the book on a season only a handful of days ago, the Brooklyn Nets are still doing their part to grow the game of basketball, specifically with how its consumed.
Thursday, in partnership with Ticketmaster and OneCourt, the team announced it’ll begin offering what’s called “braille for sports,” tactile broadcasts to blind and low vision fans during home games at Barclays Center free of charge.
Powered by technology from OneCourt, a Seattle-based startup, the tactile broadcast communicates live gameplay data audibly via an earpiece with live updates on the score and play outcomes.
