Boccia is a para-sport that can be played solely by throwing the ball, and there are commercially available high-functionality, high-cost boccia systems equipped with various assistive features. In contrast, the authors have developed a simple and low-cost boccia system and demonstrated its effectiveness in practical use. In this study, we designed a basic boccia system that allows for customization to ac-commodate diverse individual needs. Specifically, we first developed an easy-to-make and user-friendly basic system equipped with minimal essential functions. Next, we evaluated the system ’s operation at a special-needs school and an after-school day service to identify necessary assistance. Additionally, we held work-shops focusing on digital transformation (DX) in manufacturing to verify the fea-sibility of customization by general users. Based on these findings, we assessed the potential for assisting people with a variety of disabilities. As our next step, we aim to make these developments open source to enable broader implementation.
