In a global sense, it’s like playing any other game. Specifically for EVE Online, it’s currently only a minimal experience, using makeshift screen reader tools. I really hope this changes so I can play EVE at a more serious level and more comfortably.
If you formulate your question more specifically, I can give you a more precise and detailed answer.
Hello everyone!
Since CCP Games has shown no interest in making EVE Online accessible for visually impaired players, I’ve taken it upon myself to explore alternative ways to access the game. For a while now, I’ve been researching and testing two specific methods that allow blind players to engage with the game.
I wanted to share my findings because I’m sure there are other visually impaired players in the EVE Online community who also want to dive into the world of New Eden. I hope my experience can be helpful and assist someone else.

There’s a problem with all this. Any system that helps partially sighted people by way of focused messages is going to end up being used by fully sighted people for the same purpose. I mean, why mentally sort out all the clutter on the screen and focus in on what matters….when there’s now a system that does all that for you ? This would fundamentally change the nature of the game.
Your suggestions have merit, but are not technically feasible. It is wrong to say CCP has “no interest” in resolving such issues. For example, they have made efforts to accommodate color-blindness, but what you are asking for is not realistic.
I do not know.. On one hand I applaud your effort. At the same time I do not know the feasibility of this either. Not understanding coding is part of my problem. The other half is that as the altsights article points out there is still a lot of research to be done.
