Visually Impaired Person Simulator — the VR application that lets you see through the eyes of a VIP.

VIP is a VR application that brings sighted people closer to the world as seen by people with low vision. The technology can simulate a wide range of vision impairments impressively, in fine, gradual gradations. For deeper, authentic sensitization, use of the application is accompanied by people with lived experience.
