It has become known that publisher Electronic Arts is unveiling five of its patents that are designed to make games more accessible to a wider audience, including people with visual, hearing, speech and cognitive disabilities.
Noted is Apex Legends Battle Royale, in which the technology gives users the ability to communicate using a quick command system.
Three of the patents mentioned have already been implemented in franchises like Madden NFL and FIFA, to help players with vision problems. The tools of these patents detect and change colors, as well as their brightness and contrast, in order to improve the distinguishability of objects of similar brightness.
In the near future, Electronic Arts is also considering to open access to its other patents and technologies related to the accessibility of games for users of all abilities.
