Abstract

Systems and methods for determining whether to enable color blind accessibility settings within the course of a user interactive narrative are described herein. Virtual color blindness indication objects containing colors that are visibly distinguishable within a single dichromatic visual spectrum can be utilized in objectives to determine a user's dichromatic visual deficiency type.

Contents of the invention

[0002] The present disclosure provides a system for automatically determining, enabling, and adjusting colorblindness accessibility settings during a gameplay session of a video game utilizing a colorblindness pointing object. Aspects of the present disclosure may help address the problem of enabling colorblind accessibility settings in video games. Aspects of the present disclosure also address adjustment of bichromatic colorblindness accessibili...
