Partnership Brings OneCourt’s Tactile Broadcast to Suns Home Games
Phoenix Suns/Phoenix Mercury Foundation and Ticketmaster have partnered with OneCourt to enhance accessibility for Suns fans who are Blind and Low Vision with devices that utilize tactile broadcast technology. Ten OneCourt devices are available free of charge at every home game – the most devices available in the NBA – allowing fans who are Blind or Low Vision to feel and experience a live Suns home game in an entirely different way.
OneCourt’s cutting-edge tactile broadcast technology converts NBA live gameplay data into audio and trackable vibrations, allowing users to follow each play live with their fingertips on a tablet-sized device. The real-time data is translated into OneCourt’s haptic language and experienced by the fan as intuitive vibrations on the surface of the display.
We are excited to further the fan experience with OneCourt’s innovative technology and offer more fans the opportunity to feel connected to the game. The devices help make Suns games more accessible which is part of our continued commitment to elevate the game experience one fan at a time.”
