NTT is promoting research and development to enable people with various physical conditions, including disabilities, to enjoy watching sports. Focusing on goalball, which is a type of parasport, this article introduces a new experience of sports watching that provides a sense of realism as if the spectators were watching the game at the competition venue. This experience is possible by using ultra-realistic communication technology called Kirari! (particularly, highly realistic sound-image localization technology) for producing stereophonic sound.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
