Soccer Game Viewing – Via Feel

I can see so many applications for this technology for the blind… and wouldn’t you know it that entertainment tech is leading the way.

So, whenever someone kicks the ball, your phone should vibrate. The vibrations should be of different frequencies and lengths, according to the area where the ball is located. If it’s in midfield, for example, the phone should produce a weak, short-time vibration. When someone scores a goal, the vibration could be long and more powerful.
