Tennis Australia, Monash University and AKQA have launched Action Audio (action-audio.com), an online audio stream designed to make the Australian Open broadcasts accessible for almost 600,000 Australians and 285 million people living with blindness or a vision impairment.
Action Audio turns spatial data from live sports into sound, allowing blind and low vision audiences to follow the action in real time. Action Audio will launch during the Australian Open 2021 men’s and women’s finals.
Women’s Singles Final – 20 Feb 2021, 7:30PM AEDT
Men’s Singles Final – 21 Feb 2021, 7:30PM AEDT
