VISIONGRAM presented at IBSA Judo Grand Prix Special booth set up at the venue

On December 3, 2023, the Japan Blind Judo Federation held a press conference for the IBSA Judo Grand Prix 2023 Tokyo, a world tournament for blind judo and announced that Japan’s national blind judo team adopt VISIONGRAM. Yusuke Hatsuse, vice president of the Japan Blind Judo Federation, commented "Visualizing how athletes see makes it easier for them to receive instruction," and that he hopes for not only the spread and development of blind judo, but also the further public understanding of visual disability. Yujiro Seto, a member of Japan’s national blind judo team in the J2 men's 73kg weight class, said "Every visually impaired person is often asked about his or her vision, but it’s difficult to explain it in words. By just showing my VISIONGRAM, people can understand how I see.”.

During the tournament from December 4 to 5, a special VISIONGRAM booth was set up at the venue of Tokyo Metropolitan Gymnasium, where people could experience how blind judo players see through smartphones and monitors. Many people including audience, athletes' families, and overseas teams experienced VISIONGRAM. While the Japanese national team players showed remarkable results, the booth was also crowded with visitors excited to experience a view of the players they had never seen before.
