Converting text to speech for the hearing impaired, inverting colors for the visually impaired and creating a custom button mapping are just some of the highlights from the new console.
Sony said that while PlayStation 4 already had various settings to allow people with disabilities and health issues to play, PlayStation 5 will have even more settings.
PlayStation 5 can be enjoyed by people with disabilities
Converting text to speech for the hearing impaired, inverting the colors for the visually impaired and creating a custom button mapping are just a few of the highlights from the developers of the new console.
The PlayStation 5 will enable voice input for those who can type from the keyboard. You can also type a message, those who can type but have a hard time hearing can send test messages that will be read to teammates or interlocutors.
Also, great attention is paid to screen display settings. Color correction, for example, is not only about making the picture more beautiful, but also about making the graphics truly viewable for some visually impaired players. The DualSense Wireless Controller will have customizable haptic feedback and adaptive actuation force levels that can be reduced or completely disabled as needed.
Sony recalls that Naughty Dog added tweaks to game mechanics when creating Uncharted 4 and The Last of Us Part 2 to make the game easier for people with disabilities.
