• Support for users with visual disturbances:
  • Alternatives to colour coding for information (e.g. for those with colour blindness, dyslexia, Irlen-Myers);
  • Alternative fonts (serif and sans-serif skins) for improved legibility;
  • Possibly extending to hooking into the blind support tools such as screen readers, tools to enable heightened contrast etc. (Eloise Pasteur 01:34, 12 November 2008 (UTC))

Fallback Topics (Low Priority)

These are topic ideas that would be interesting to discuss, but don't need to be discussed soon.

• Even more about HUDs. We just can't talk about enough! Geneko Nemeth 00:12, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Thinking about it, in-world vendors and signs are very similar to HUDs, except they aren't attached. Geneko Nemeth 00:12, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
