More and more video games incorporate options to facilitate the entry of the public with disabilities into the world of video games. And now it’s the turn Microsoft and his studies, which this week unveiled an interesting trailer for Forza Motorsport and its new technology to help blind people join the game.
The video introduces us to Brandon Cole, one of the consultants for disability issues that Microsoft has hired to improve its games in this regard. Thanks to a series of support optionsCole managed to pass several of the courses (races) of Forza Motorsport, even though he had never driven in real life or even in a video game.
«I remember being surprised the first time I said ‘wait, I didn’t go off the track, I managed to make that corner’. Getting to the point where it wasn’t crashing all the time was like jumping over a gap. Accessibility is like breaking a barrier and this was exactly: the point at which the barrier was broken“Cole says.
According to its developers, Forza Motorsport will feature driving guides that will direct the sound of the engine and the tires in the direction where we should turn, as well as alerts when we get too close to the edges of the track and other mechanisms.
All of this really makes a difference for Cole and his team. «We have a system that works. And above all, it’s fun. I’ve already managed to beat the game’s AI in several races and it felt fantastic.”.
