Action Audio, a collaboration between Tennis Australia, Monash University and AKQA, is a new way for people who are blind or have low vision to follow the sports they love. Launching at Australian Open 2021, Action Audio uses real time ball monitoring technology and transforms this spatial data into 3D sound. The system emphasises ball speed and trajectory, proximity to line and the players’ shot types to augment critical moments of the live action.
