A world-first trial is helping visually impaired people experience the sights of a festival.
Only 10 visually impaired people attended Forwards festival and Give Vision hope to break down those barriersA world-first trial is helping visually impaired people experience the sights, as well as the sounds, of a festival.
Joanna Liddington at Give Vision, the company behind the headset, said: "Some people with severe sight loss might be able to make out blurs or a bit of colour, with the headset it makes all of this a lot clearer and crisper. One in 33 people across the country have sight loss. With 20,000 people attending Forwards festival, that should equate to about 600 visually people on site.
