GAMING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's fun (hence the exclamation marks). But also, if you are blind or low vision, it can be somewhat exclusionary. FEAR NOT.
In this episode of TEC Talk Live Luke and Cory, assistive technology specialists at Vision Forward, are joined by Jesse Anderson of the Illegaly Sighted YouTube Channel to talk all about accessible games for people who are blind or low vision.
Accessible games...must be talking about audio games, right? HOLD YOUR HORSES good sir/madam/other. Accessible gaming does not have to mean only audio games, but all sorts of different game styles and genres! So strap in, and get ready to hear about all sorts of games for PC, console, iOS and Android...and even VR!
