Visual impaired artist uses software for the visually impaired to make amazing art. What program is this? (self.Blind)
submitted 8y ago by MadCervantes
Hey so I saw this article on Hi Fructose about $1. I can't figure out how he makes that effect. The article says he uses a program for the visually impaired, but the only thing I can find out about those are screenreaders.
I don't think it's done manually. I've seen these gifs before, and they don't come from professionals, and they all have a very similar look. I also never see the effect applied to video, only images, so I don't think it's a video editing program, though I don't know why one couldn't apply it to video even if it were for images (just export image sequence). So it seems to me that it must be some kind of specialty software (as stated in the original article) but I'm curious if anyone has a clue what it is?

"photo manipulation software designed for the visually impaired" is the most unexpected phrase I've read today. I'm assuming based on the fact that the article doesn't call him blind, he has some usable vision. If it had gone into more detail about his vision, it might give us something more to go on. Have you considered contacting the artist directly?
Mods: this could be an interesting AMA subject for the subscribers here, too.

I sent him a message on his G+ page, but he has a recent post about him unplugging from the internet for a time. It seems dozens of sites covered him when it went viral, so I can see why he might be a little overwhelmed right now.
