The colder days are approaching and the days are getting shorter. However, during a sunny week in October, we’ve had the pleasure to visit a project from six motivated IDE students at Dutch Design Week 2024 in Eindhoven! Their project named ‘BRIGHT’ aims to make a great impact in the world of visual impairment and we’re sure that they reached this goal. Read more about it below, where the team will be telling you all about it! 

 

“Hi everyone! This is the BRIGHTeam speaking! 

 

We are a team of six Industrial Design Engineering students from University of Twente, and we are extremely excited to present our ongoing project BRIGHT at the Dutch Design Week 2024.

BRIGHT is a game designed with inclusivity at its core, bringing together both visually impaired and sighted players through communication and teamwork. The challenge? Work against the clock, trust your partner, and communicate to overcome obstacles!

Our goal with BRIGHT is simple: to create a space where everyone can participate equally, regardless of their abilities. We want to show that games can be fun, challenging, and accessible for all. By connecting people with different experiences, we hope to inspire a more inclusive and equal society—one game at a time.

Get ready and discover how a game can be made inclusive for all!!”
