We propose a sports watching method called “Sports Social View,” in which sighted persons translate sports movements into different types of physical actions, and share them with the visually impaired. For example, in the case of tennis game, a sighted person expresses the movement of a tennis ball by hitting a board, and a visually impaired person detects it by touching the board. In the case of judo game, two sighted persons simulate the movements of judo players by pulling a cloth, and a visually impaired person perceives the players’ movements by holding the cloth. With this method, the visually impaired can enjoy sports watching using haptic sensations, and feel a sense of unity with the sighted persons.
