In this Blind Vet Tech Quick Guides, News and Reviews podcast, Jesse from the Illegally Sighted Youtube channel joins us in a discussion about accessibility and universal design principals for blind computer users and video gamers. As mainstream companies integrate inclusive design strategies as a fundamental development principal, us blind consumers will actually have multiple choices to consider. One of the last bastions for overtly inaccessible items is the video game market.

The Illegally Sighted Youtube channel was created by Jesse in 2012 to educate blind gamers and developers about blind gaming. He demonstrates a variety of XBox, PC, and iOS games blind and low vision individuals may enjoy. Of special note, some of his latest uploads focuses on blind gaming with the Oculus Rift VR headset. Here are some of the topics we cover in this episode:

* Accessibility and Universal Design Principals in the computing and gaming worlds

* More mainstream companies, like Microsoft, Apple, and EA integrated accessibility into their core development principals

* EA Accessibility and Madden 18

* Skull Girls, gold standard of accessible mainstream games

* Blind gaming with AR, VR, and mixed reality
