Accessible gaming for the blind

Recommended Posts

Posted

I had no idea about this, but I guess there are a fair amount of blind gamers out there. Of course being blind doesn't mean you can't 100% see, there's all kinds of issues that blind people face, but some can actively play video games perfectly fine, while some may need help with certain devices. 

Are there any games made mostly for the blind? Do you know anyone who's blind and is able to play some games?

It was pretty new to me as well, but I guess a lot of the ones for blind players utilize audio and other options. I imagine they also make controllers and devices that can help the blind navigate games. Of course, 100% blindness probably is a no go, but maybe if it features sound controls. 

I found this game: Lost and Hound - https://store.steampowered.com/app/1054350/Lost_and_Hound/

It's cool that people are making games like this to help others who normally couldn't to play games.

If one is completely blind, I wouldn't see any reason why video games will be suitable for such person. But if the user is half blind, see's partially then concave glasses can help to help in that aspect.
