SwimSight: supporting deaf users to participate in swimming games.

We believe sport should be more inclusive, and assistive devices deserve more design and innovation. In this paper we present SwimSight, a start time indication system for deaf swimmers that overcomes the limitations (inappropriate feedback, cumbersome) of existing solutions. Specific features such as providing appropriate feedback and compatibility with existing professional timing systems differentiate SwimSight from existing state-of-the-art solutions. We discuss the design goals, implementation, and deployment of SwimSight in a national deaf swimming competition.
