Welcome to the World of VI Gaming

Did you know: blind people can game. Whether you’re visually impaired or fully sighted, the world of gaming is open to everyone. In this video, he shares a bit about he navigates different gaming platforms and finds his favourite games.

Choosing the Right Platform

Martin is all about the Xbox, but knows plenty of folks who are into PC or even mobile games. It all depends on what’s accessible and what each person prefers. Accessibility in gaming is improving, but there’s still a way to go.

Gaming Favourites and Challenges

Martin enjoys diving into a range of games—everything from the thrill of “Grand Theft Auto” to scoring goals in “FIFA.” However, first-person shooters like “Call of Duty” can be a tough nut to crack because of their fast pace and heavy reliance on visual cues. Here he notes that some games are more accessible than others for blind players.

How Martin makes gaming work for him

To make things work, Martin uses a pretty simple setup: just a large 34-inch monitor mounted on an arm, which he positions close to his face. That’s the trick! No fancy gadgets, just Martin and the screen up close and personal.
