[games_access] SIMVIZ

Looks fantastic

Also for in the field when this kind of thing isn't feasible, a tool I've found really useful is colorblindness simulators for smartphones, eg. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.SeewaldSolutions.ColorBlindnessSimulator&hl=en_GB

Also +1 for Cambridge's equipment, the gloves are a bit of a pain to get set up properly but the glasses are great (and relatively cheap), great enough that people keep stealing mine!

Just seen Eelke Folmer's latest video:

What a brilliant idea. Using an adapted Oculus Rift, you can simulate a
range of sight impairments/conditions almost as if you had them.

Great one to add to the Cambridge Simulation Gloves repertoire, etc. to get
across some of the game design barriers disabled people are facing.

and I know people have been doing this for decades, but maybe not enough in
gaming).
