How a Deaf-Blind Person Watches the World Cup
Brazilian Sign Language interpreter Hélio Fonseca de Araújo woke up on the day before the opening of the World Cup thinking about how he could help his friend Carlos, who is deaf and blind, get access to all the excitement. So he hit the hardware store, rigged up a tabletop model of the field, and enlisted his friend Regiane to provide extra interpretation for all the complex information that needs to come through in a game.
Here you can see Carlos watching the Brazil vs. Croatia match live, while Hélio provides Brazilian Sign Language interpretation (which Carlos follows by feeling it with his own hands), and Regiane gives information about fouls, cards, times, and player jersey numbers with social-haptic communication on Carlos’s back.
This is the moment when Marcelo scored an own goal, putting Croatia in the lead:
If you are wondering why Carlos occasionally looks at the screen, many deaf blind people have some residual sight (or hearing). Many deaf-blind people become fluent in sign language as deaf people, before they begin to lose their sight.
