I designed and implemented an immersive audio system for the NBA’s accessibility project, Dreamcaster. The spatial audio system translated live gameplay data into localized sound cues, making basketball perceivable in real-time to users who are blind and visually impaired. One user was Cameron, a sports blogger who'd wanted to be a sports announcer his whole life. He used the system to call a live playoff game—not just experiencing it, but finally stepping into the role he'd always dreamed of, taking part in a conversation he'd been locked out of.
