Contents / Description
How does a gamer who has been blind since birth navigate retro games—which lack special accessibility features for blind gamers—step by step? In his talk, Christian Ohrens shares personal experiences from his early days as a gamer, explains his own approaches, and offers insights into how he navigates complex game worlds despite the lack of assistive tools. Using audio examples, he demonstrates that gaming is far more than just the presence of special accessibility features: it is a matter of perspective, creativity, and experimentation. The talk invites attendees to discover and experience retro games from a new, inclusive perspective—with the courage to experiment and the joy of self-determination.
