CSSconf EU 2018 | Shwetank Dixit: Simulating Low-Vision Conditions with CSS, SVG and WebRTC

Augmenting Empathy: Simulating Low-Vision Conditions with CSS, SVG and WebRTC “Low-vision” is a concept which is hard to grasp for most people in an exact manner. Its an umbrella term for a number of conditions - each affecting eyesight in a different way. What if we could make tools to make people see what people with low-vision actually see? This talk is a story of how I talked to persons with low vision and their family members, and tried to make tools to help people understand how people with various low-vision conditions see the world. Through the power of CSS, SVG and WebRTC, we’ll take a look at how to simulate low-vision conditions and what it taught me about empathy.
