Beepball

An adaptive version of baseball designed for players who are blind or visually impaired. The game uses a softball modified with a sound sensor that emits a beeping sound, and bases that buzz when activated, allowing players to locate the ball and bases through auditory cues. All batters and fielders wear blindfolds to ensure equal conditions. Beepball faces accessibility challenges including fragile wired bases that require frequent repair, sound-emitting balls that break down during play, and the difficulty of training in environments where background noise can interfere with the audio cues essential to the game.
