Creating a video game bereft of any actual video might seem like an unusual idea.
But the concept is being adopted by a growing number of games designers, to help make the industry more accessible to blind and visually impaired people.
“Video-less” games use a production technique known as binaural recording, to construct an immersive, audio-only world.
The technique involves fitting a dummy with tiny condenser microphones that mimic the way our ears naturally hear sound. Each scene in the game is recorded using this method and the result is a more realistic, three-dimensional experience.
