Abstract

To realize a blind bowling support system that tells information to a blind player using a voice synthesizer, a function of ball course detection is being developed after implementation of a function of counting remaining pins. The new function detects a position of thrown ball on an area of arrow marks on the bowling lane using a depth sensor. The sensor is connected to a pipe frame that bridged over the lane. Based on the evaluation by a blind bowling player, it can be shown that the function works basically well, although there is still potential to improve its stability.
