Description: On Tuesday June 4, 2024 at 7:30pm-8:30pm EDT (23:30-00:30 UTC) the Accessibility NYC Meetup (A11yNYC) hosts a meetup ‘Leveling the Playing Field: Toward Equivalently Accessible Video Game Worlds‘. Vishnu Nair of Columbia University will share insights from his journey in designing, building, and testing video game accessibility tools for blind or low vision (BLV) players to navigate and engage with 3D game worlds in a fun and independent way. Through a deep dive into three of his major Ph.D. projects, he will highlight feedback from BLV gamers and discuss what these projects reveal about the next steps within game accessibility and beyond.

The meetup will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Accessibility SIG.
