Forza Motorsport's Innovative Accessibility Features for Blind Drivers.

Forza Motorsport's upcoming game will introduce Blind Driving Assists, a series of audio cues that provide track and vehicle information allowing blind/low vision players to complete races. The game's developers consulted with disabled users and consultants, including Brandon Cole, a blind consultant with credits on games like The Last of Us Part 2, to create the feature set. Xbox's continuous support of disabled players and studios' learning from each other have the potential to shape how developers approach designs and features for blind/low vision players.
