Blind Gamer Meetup: A Conversation and Demonstration of Accessible Video Gaming (in-person)

Over the years, video gaming has continued to grow even more popular, quickly becoming a part of everyday society. However, for those that are blind or have low vision, many of these games have had very limited accessibility features for the visual aspects of the games.

In recent years SONY, other large video gaming platforms and the studios that create the hugely popular games have made progress in adding features that can help those that are blind or have low vision gain access to the latest games. To help our community learn about what is new in accessible gaming and allow a space for them to connect with peers, the LightHouse Youth Program would like to invite you to our first ever Blind Gamer Meet-up.

Join us for an inclusive and exciting gaming gathering designed for individuals of all ages who are blind or have low vision. The agenda promises an enriching experience, starting with engaging conversations and captivating demonstrations of Accessible Video Gaming. Connect with fellow gamers and share your passion for gaming during a delightful lunch gathering. Then, get ready to embark on a thrilling adventure of video game exploration with your peers where we take turns playing popular games with accessibility features turned on. Don’t miss out on this unique opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals and immerse yourself in the world of accessible video games!

Parents please note: Some of the games we will be demonstrating and talking about are designed for an older audience. Youth that are under 18 years old may only join our event with parent or guardian permission.
