2018/08/14
The CAC Group (holdings company: CAC Holdings Corporation; Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akihiko Sako), which provides IT and healthcare services in Japan and abroad, has now made “Boccia Measure(*1)” an original Android app for automatically measuring the distance between boccia balls, available for free on Google Play.
The CAC Group is a gold partner of the Japan Boccia Association and has been engaged in activities to popularize and support boccia, which is a sport for people with disabilities, since 2016. The group company CAC Corporation (Head Office: Chuo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Ryota Nishimori) developed Boccia Measure as a way to popularize the game of boccia and has been conducting repeated evaluations. Now, in the hope of helping as many as possible enjoy boccia wherever you go, we are making the app available for free on Google Play.
Boccia Measure is an Android app that helps determining who the winner is by displaying images and data after measuring the distances between the jack ball, which is the boccia target ball, and the color balls. If you use your device’s camera function to take a photo from right above the jack ball, the app can automatically measure its distance to nearby balls.
The Group will continue to engage in a variety of activities to help popularize boccia so that as many as possible can come to enjoy the game.
