What is Sight-Sim™?

Sight-Sim™ is a software tool which shows you how the world looks to someone with visual impairment. Sight-Sim™ has been designed primarily for carers and teachers of visually impaired children.

  • Sight-Sim™ lets you see the world as your child or pupil sees it.
  • Sight-Sim™ uses a child’s visual measurements (acuity and contrast sensitivity) to change images to represent their level of vision.
  • You can then adjust their world by making things bigger, brighter, higher contrast, simpler… whatever makes their world more visible to them.

The beta release of Sight-Sim™ is available at no cost as an aid to parents, carers and teachers of children, or anyone else, with visual impairment.
