Bowling is known as one of the most popular sports for visually impaired people. They can enjoy the bowling with sighted support assistant who tells them a trajectory of the bowling ball, information of remaining pins, and the scores. However, they still have needs that they want to acquire all information by their own without any help by sighted assistants. To fill the needs, a testing system was developed as a first step. The system talks the position of remaining pins using simple image processing. Severe visually impaired player tested the talking system and it was clear that the system was useful, though it requires some practice because the player must press a button manually. Addition to the result, unexpected effect was discovered. It was that they can acquire information of pin statement of other players and they can enjoy the bowling game together. |
