EA’s Open Source Accessibility Tools: Breaking Barriers for Players with Disabilities

2023-12-04 11:09:41
Electronic Arts has expanded its initiative to provide accessibility tools and technologies. The open source accessibility options of EA Sports FC 24, Mirror’s Edge: Catalyst and EA Sports WRC can now be used for free by third party developers. The initiative appeared in 2021, which included features from Apex Legends. New source code includes the IRIS light sensitivity analysis tool and route guidance system, which first appeared in Mirror’s Edge Catalyst. IRIS is designed for ease of access and automatically analyzes and identifies footage that might potentially affect players with light sensitivity. Other patents include an automated control system, an adaptive training system with personalized recommendations, and an animated personalized coach that offers information both in and out of the game. EA hopes that the initiative will help reduce barriers for players with disabilities. Kerry Hopkins, senior vice president of global affairs, spoke regarding this.
