Super.com has announced its partnership with Mars Vision in order to launch an innovative new application that will allow the visually impaired to play games without the need for modding.
What is the software called and how does it work?
This new software is called Mars Vision and it offers a technological solution to let all players who have low-vision or are visually impaired enjoy computer games. The application monitors gameplay in real-time and assists the player in navigating the game’s environment and menus. Using a neural network, Mars Vision doesn’t change the gameplay present in a game; rather, it translates gameplay so that the player has the information they need to immerse themselves fully in the world. The technology has been developed in partnership with visually impaired end users to ensure that pain points that are present in similar software are not experienced with Mars Vision.
