Description
The 109th Running of the Indianapolis 500 is quickly approaching, and thanks to a group of engineers in Lafayette, more race fans will be able to experience the Greatest Spectacle in Racing.
The race is known for its sights and sounds for hundreds of thousands of fans each year.
This May, a couple dozen blind and visually impaired fans will use the Cadence device to experience the race, too.
The tablet uses multi-line braille to depict the Indianapolis Motor Speedway in the palm of their hands.
