I’m legally blind as well, I can only ride a bike because I learned to read shadows by knowing the light source and using the angle of the shadows to not run into poles and such. Combine that with my brain filling in the blanks and voilà only been hit by a car twice, neither my fault.
My son is a teenager now but he was born premature and has cerebral palsy and is color blind and legally blind, it's been progressively getting worse and as a teen he's realizing just how much it impacts him and his future ability to get a job, he realizes he'll never be able to drive and he's so focused on the limitations that he's lost a lot of that spunk and can do attitude he used to have. Video games and vr are great for him because it's something he can see and do and people don't judge him. Thank you for sharing, it shows him that other people become adults living with this and he can too
Hi, I’m completely blind in one eye, and have 20/400 vision in the other. Blind since birth, growing up, I struggled with some of the same issues as your son, and even still today as an adult. People in the special education industry try to tell kids that they’re no different from everyone else, and that they can still do anything they put their mind to, but that’s simply not true. It took me a while to figure out, and it sounds pessimistic, but the sooner your son can come to terms with the fact that he’s not like everyone else, and that he does have limitations that will keep him from doing certain things, the sooner he can accept himself as he is, focus on the things that he can do, and find ways to do the things that he’s passionate about. I felt like I wasn’t contributing anything to society, so I started my channel, and dedicated myself to helping make VR more accessible for the visually impaired.
I have a job working on VR projects for various government groups, and there's some great opportunities for UI/UX (User Interface/User Experience) designers who can design for folks with different conditions! Especially as AR/VR become more applicable for various industries, learning those differences in how our brains and eyes process information is really valuable 💙 I don't know if this could give him some hope or inspiration, but development for AR/VR can be really interesting, rewarding, profitable and/or fun, and there're more fields that use it than many may think! And his unique perspective is one we're currently in need of, and will still need in the years to come, if it sounds like something he'd enjoy 💙
Always so awesome how articulate and passionate your guests are. The avatars are just a great way to frame the conversation without being too serious. What a modern doc series.
this channel IS A LOT like "soft white underbelly", but a much more.. palatable version. You just blew my mind.
"It's not the end of the the world but it is spooky."
Confirmed here folks. Blind people are just set at a lower screen resolution.
My career requires my sight, I lost vision in my left eye for a few weeks and accepted it. When my vision came back i was never so grateful for basic senses
Oh man. I'm so happy you got it back. Losing my vision is one of my greatest fears.
You didn’t visit an eye doctor?
@@sergeantmajor_gross this was maybe a month ago, I don't have money for an optometrist or insurance. Living in America 🤷♂️
@@ChrisReparationslul Set up a gofundme or some shit man you gotta make sure your eye is ok😢
That's crazy! curious as to what happened to cause that.
I remember watching the first video with this guy. And I remember having some comfort in hearing another young adult who grew up with a similar degree of vision loss like I did. All this time later, it's still hitting close to home.
Keep on keeping on you magnificent dude.

So this happens to me as well. Though the reason is due to the fact that the house I live in is tilted slightly. Not enough to notice, but enough for doors to settle in seemingly random angles compared to one another. The reason that is relevant is because when I have something cold that produces a lot of condensation, like ice cream, the bottom of the cup (usually bowl) become soaked in water making it slick. My bowl of ice cream could possibly fall off the desk if I let it. Same with my phone. If I were to lay it on its screen, due to how little friction the glass has, it just slides with no help. Again, the slant of the house isn't noticeable on it's own, but it's the subtle things like that that cause you to see it. Definitely not a new house either. I'm thinking it's the same thing as what vizion witnessed, but obviously I wasn't there.
Makes sense. I've had cold glasses slide along tables at restaurants occasionally.
Explain top hat man
I wish we could get like 3 of these videos a week because I love the concept of this channel. Hearing average people candidly talk about often heavy topics in a weird VR setting is just quality, thought-provoking, entertainment.
I've never met someone like me who is blind in one eye before; when he explained what the experience was like for him I couldn't help but tear up to know that there's someone like me out there. Thank you syrmor; I legitimately appreciate your work.
There’s lots of people like us out there, you just gotta know where to look. that’s why I’ve dedicated myself to helping make VR accessible for the visually impaired. Raise your voice, VR game developers need to know we exist.
man is going through life with dead pixels all over his monitor
I never understood being legally blind. If it's legal what's the problem??
The real problem are the illegally blind people, those damn criminals.
@@celty228 mate, do you have a loicense for that blindness?
If Im to understand it properly,
The term "legally blind" is to protect people from those that would pretend to be blind in order to gain selfish benefits
As someone who is legally blind, it means you legally cannot drive or operate heavy machinery.
Your vision can be poor enough but not complete blackness to be considered legally blind and qualify for disability benefits etc etc
If he's really good at fps games, it would be a good bit to say he got that third eye
Love the idea of some guy getting excited about ketamine only to find out he was actually talking about cereal 😂
My step father started losing his vision rapidly when I was about 4 years old. Around the same time he had an injury on his hand that led to his 3 out of 5 fingers being locked up with no nails just nubs. He always told me a rat are his finger and picked at his eye… turns out he actually worked at poison factory that produced rat poison and there was an accident.. I still remember being with him and my mom, him driving us around. We were a block away from home when he pulled over and said he couldn’t see.. so scary man.
The Roost theme playing in a liminal Waffle House was cozier than one might expect.
smh he didn't ask what he'd tell everyone in the world if he could
i asked it in the first video we talked so im going with an everyone only gets 1 rule
@@syrmor guess Jordan was the exception lol
He's right about the paranormal ghost stuff
There's been a lot of good progress in optogenetics, combinations of stem cells in adepose and liver tissues show promise for reconstitution when integrated into retinal cells. As someone with my own retinal degenerative issues, popping in and checking on those advances help me calm down. I'm happy vizion seems well adjusted to the situation, but god I wish we didn't have to deal with this.
Always cool to see just people bein people, another smackaroonie Syrmor.
I love this channel so much, all of the guests have so much personality and enthusiasm. Be well to all. 💜
I am blind in my left eye, i also have really good vison in my right eye but cant see anything in my left; my vison ends at the bridge of my nose and everything else is black, mine was caused by a pituitary tumor in my brain that cut off blood flow to it and by the time we found out it was too late, i talked about it on Azeal's livestream back in June, im happy someone else thats blind can have a platform to share their experience too, its always good to see it.
VR is really something special for anyone legally blind. Almost any legally blind gamer I know loves VR in one way or another myself included. Something about it its just way to see games and life in a way we can't in the real world like everyone else.
Not his name being “Vizion”
The cereal story had me weak
Wait, has this guy been to a Gonstead Chiropractor? He's literally half an hour away from the place where Dr. Gonstead lived and developed his method in Mount Horeb.
Dude, if you read this comment please look up "Dr Rahim Gonstead Chiropractor" - he'd a Gonstead Doc here on UA-cam who practices the Gonstead method.
(Chiropractic was almost literally founded because a guy got his hearing restored after an adjustment - not that the guy who did the adjustment knew that was what he was doing.)
okay so I think I have some minor psychosis, but I've seen the man with the top hat, he used to hang out in my room all the time, I'd stare him down for hours and he'd just watch me. Sometimes he would come closer and other times he'd peek in and out, the worst times though were the times when I would be under the blankets and could hear him over me breathing, and sometimes I'd be in that situation and he'd just touch me or scratch down my back. I have no clue why, but I've also spoke to another friend of mine who also saw him years ago. We both shared how we felt a feeling of what I can only describe as imminent dread, the kind of feeling to make you cry with a straight face for hours.
imagine u get ganked and lee is actually blind irl
XiJaro & Pitch comes to mind, as one of the members has Norrie Disease (blind, hearing loss, etc), its so cool to hear acceptance in the club scene for more artists with unconventional play styles, good luck on your journey.
Crazy seeing all these different perspectives! Love the videos
0:26 peeta... the horse is hea
When I saw the thumbnail I was thinking, “Huh, never knew Artsyvrc was legally blind, surprised the topic never came up on stream”
Does the avatar belong to Artsy? I'm concerned that it may have been stolen in VRC if other people are using it (if it's originally hers I mean, like a custom avatar)
Sounds different though, that or this must be one hell of an old video
MORE ABOUT THE GHOSTS PLEASE
I work at Waffle house. lol I'm at work in a Waffle house watching your video of you in a VR Waffle house.
Also nice video.
I got kerotaconus in both eyes which is getting worse. Had to give up my car recently which really stung, feels so hopeless to lose your vision. Felt this video.
Idk if anyone will see this. But, here goes. This is my first time leaving a comment like this. I want to talk about my friend who committed suicide almost seven years ago. I want to talk about him, and what living on was like. Even with therapy, grief counseling, group therapy, that weight never really goes away.
To start, we grew up together. The last couple years, we were closer. I was teaching even teaching him how to sing. When I moved, he kept asking for voice lessons- but I never made the time to commute up. It's always painfully obvious in hindsight what stuff like that meant, but at the time I had no clue. I didn't know I was his best friend, until literally everyone at the funeral told me he was. His adopted father gave me a bunch of his stuff, I don't know what to do with. It just sits in my room.
He was a good kid, he didn't deserve the hand life dealt him. He loved science, chemistry, books about the civil war. When we were young, he didn't know how to talk to people. when we grew up, he didn't know how to stop talking haha. I miss him a great deal. I often wonder what he'd think, what he'd say if he could see me now.
There are a million more things I want to say about him, I haven't even touched the experience of "Moving forward" But, for most people, hell even for me, that gets really heavy.
I had a friend and coworker commit suicide. He was the nicest most likeable dude I ever met. The kind of guy that seemed to exist to brighten your day, yknow? We use to hangout after work sometimes and in the 3 or 4 years I knew him I never would have imagined he was depressed.
I went into work on am off day and he was working and I said HI to him but he was really irritated about something which was not super common for him, like he was mad. We worked at Walmart so it wasn't that big of a deal cuz we'd get pissed off fairly often for brief periods because of management, but anyway I just wrote it off as another shitty day of work and went home and I guess he went home that night and shot himself in the face with a shotgun. His brother who we also worked with found him the next day. Juat thinking about what that scene looked like fucks me up.
It floored me like I couldn't comprehend that it happened, not to him of all people. The hindsight thing is rough cuz I kept telling myself like fuck, I could have done something like asked if he wanted to chill after work and smoke a joint or something. I still hate thinking about it because the world needed this guy and his energy. Suicide is fucked up, man.
Juat wanted to share that with you because I understand those feels, bro.
Maybe he already knows this, but in current gen VR headsets everything is at a fixed focal distance. It used to be that they were focused to infinity, but I think more recent headsets set the focus distance at somewhere around 1.5 meters. I wonder if he's considered trying lens inserts. Obviously it's not going to fix the retinal issues, but if he wants the "screen super close to your eyes" effect then that actually should be doable.
That’s probably why he’s on VR, must be easier for him to use sight.
@@billymays1761 I mean, he said that VR currently looks the same to him as IRL, but if bringing things close enough to focus helps then he might be able to improve things somewhat
The part about the "tophat man" story is creepily similar to what i saw as a kid, -same thing too, but i was playing with my friend in the basement, but we both ran upstairs.
I will do a video on that sometime (having issues with my mental health right now though) but it's SO cool, every time i hear about someone having an experience like that,
i want to share it!!!, i feel motivated!.
The hatman is a weirdly common paranormal sighting that's weird as hell that vision saw it as a kid without knowing anything about it.
woah? they played at liquid in Madison? I’m a student at Madison currently and a few of my friends went to a liquid event this past month. Crazy connection huh

As bubbles from trailer park boys said “well when I was a little guy I always thought I could be an astronaut but you need to be able to see really fuckin good to do that job, they take one look at me and say “we’ll sorry sir we need someone who can see a little better than you”……….. I don’t give a fuck”
I have eye vision issues due to neurological issues.. screens like computers and phones have made it so much worse I can’t imagine vr is helping his vision at all but it’s good he has that outlet.
When you realize that shadowman is just the cheating partner hiding in the basement
so rare to see content about legal blindness but as a legally blind person I love to see it (ba dum tssss) but on a serious note thanks for making this!
Just now learning artsy was using a free or now leaked model
must have a hell of a sense of humor given his name is *vizion*
Lovely video! I’d really like to see you do longer videos and longer conversations with some of these people someday.
Currently in the air force and I'm (barely) legally blind. I can get laser eye surgery which will correct my vision to get me to fly.

This description is the closest to my condition that I've heard someone describe. I have a different issue, but the result is almost the same. I'm not considered legally blind, however, my eyes are fine, but one of my optic nerve got screwed up a little over a decade ago.
Ouch? Wait, so one eye is fine and the other not so, so does the fine image and not fine image blend together?
@@bluwasabi7635 i have a similar situation, genetically my family and i have great vision, when i was young my right eye was injured and not really repairable. anyways when i’m looking at something normally only the image produced by my left eye is used, and my peripherals from my right eye are blended into it. if i close my left eye while looking normally the clarity is severely reduced. i can barely see anything. it’s incredible how our brains will adapt.
This guy is fun lmao
Wait isn't that the old artzy model
I honestly thought the same thing
From the stories I’ve heard and books I’ve read, the intended mechanic upon death for a human soul is to accept their time on earth is over and to head to their next destination.
That destination is usually a reincarnation or an ascendence to a higher state of consciousness, what we’d traditionally call a heaven. Some souls can get caught up in negativity in the process and temporarily endure negative states as a detour, something we’ve traditionally called hell. This state is transcendable.
However, a soul whose focus was so intent upon their life on earth as to distract them from the notion of moving on can essentially trap themselves in a realm on earth close to the physical realm. This usually occurs due to trauma they endured during life. Trauma is negative, thus these souls often develop negative personality traits while earth-bound because their focus is so fixated on this trauma. The closeness of the realm they anchor themselves in allows them to somewhat interact with the physical realm, as seen through telekinesis and such. They often stalk the location of their trauma as well, this is why they haunt specific places.
This is the case with human souls anyway. There’s other non-human spirits that can interact with us, but those mentioned in the video seem to be earth-bound human souls from my understanding.
This was really interesting. I love the variety of people we have in these videos. Nice.
Thanks for sharing, bless you! We all face our struggles but whether we see it or not, there’s light at the end of the tunnel or you’ll/we’ll feel the sunshine after the rain.
Your message is important, as well as everyone’s opinion. Let’s just listen and connect with each other, and change this polarization and negativity in this world.
Please be kind, please respect and most of all; please listen.
Thank you, and thank Syrmor for this content.❤
I was playing games when a large paper tube (think A1 size tube of paper), just randomly fell over. there was no wind that I could feel, no pets or animals around. i legit smiled and thought the cat did it but nothing was there. this tube also had not tilted or fallen over since it sat next to me for years. then it fell over. after the tube fell over and I was looking around a sheet of paper fell off the desk in front of me, again seemingly caused by nothing (i was aware it could be the wind or air pressure caused by me moving but it was abnormal enough that I was not having it). I immediately ran downstairs and went to bed lol
OMG REPPING MADISON, GO BADGERs!
Ah yes, the ripped Artsy skin
I hope he dosnt turn fully blind
Im loving the Artsy avatar
Heads up syrmor, legally blind is very different from medically blind. I'm legally blind, but after corrections nobody could tell
How in the hell does non depth translate into depth. Our brain is too good at the worst things.
Love the videos ❤
Man earlier this year I had experienced ocular migraines and I have never been so happy when I read it usually doesn't lead to blindness I thought I was going blind and accepted it
It really sucks most people dont know what they have until its gone losing hearing or vision can be some scary shit
Did you realize its from light sensitivity/ straining?
I went through something similar this year
@@shiesterjr yup lol it scared the shit out of me at first I mean ive never encountered anything like it
I couldnt tell if I was going blind or experiencing schizophrenia mind you i also have a sleeping problem so being sleep deprived and experiencing ocular migraines was a bit of a terrifying combo
At the time I was really going through a stressful time at work
ok whatefuck is that about the tophat man. When i was really really young i used to see a dark figure that seemed like a suited man, going to rooms he had nowhere to run/hide and disappear, and my family got scared but they told me it wasn´t real and then it stoped shortly after. But its weird how similar it happened. the diference is mine had a suitcase not a tophat
signed up for story about blindness, got spooky ghost stories right before bed D:
YOOOOO MADISON, WI SHOUTOUT
I've never encountered this guy before, and now I'm curious. Do you have albinsim? I'm asking partially because of the white hair on the model, but also because I have albinism and am badly visually impaired too. Some of the symptoms you're describing sound very familiar to me, but others make me think that maybe you have something else as well as / instead of albinism? My vision has always been terrible, but it has also been pretty stable as it's not a progressive condition.
I'm also asking because I'm curious about VR, as I've wanted to try it for a while, but I'm also worried that my vision problems (which include poor depth perception and nystagmus, involuntary eye movements) might make it unworkable for me.
They show pictures in the video that I'm guessing are Vizion, in which case no it's not albinism. Also he says what the issue with his eyes is, which is basically that there are holes in the retina, nowhere is albinism mentioned.
Gotta mention the price of Lazik too. I worked in the field, like ok no I won't sell a kidney for that
imagine the ghosts were just real people who lived in the house :P
POP hold it down
Hi, I’m a blind, VR content creator, and this is a call to action. If you too enjoy VR, and are blind, or even just have poor enough vision, that you sometimes struggle seeing menus and things in games, it’s time to speak up. VR developers seem to have a habit of making UI and menus too small or too far away to read. Or they do the opposite and make a menu, the size of a building 100 feet away, so you can’t walk up close to it to be able to read it. We can’t really blame them, they don’t understand why it’s an issue. So it’s time to tell them. Struggling with the game? Contact the developer and let them know you’re blind. Can’t read the library on your quest, because the menu fades to white when you get too close to it? let Meta know that’s not ok. It’s time to let the world of VR know that we exist. If “the metaverse” is ever going to be anything more than just an overused buzzword, then it needs to have a good foundation of accessibility and inclusivity.

I just got the joke. A blind guy named vision
I’ve seen the top hat man! And so has my brother and mom!
I have something like this too. I wore glass contact lenses to help correct my vision for 10yrs. I stopped because it was getting too costly to upkeep. I also can't get lasik because my eyes get progressively worse every year. I'm currently wearing super thick glasses and they help. I've accepted my fate and can't wait to get my handicap placard, lol.

If one of his eyes is basically completely fucked then that explains why he sees VR like real life. He has either no sense or very little sense of depth, so the lack of actual depth isn't obvious to him.
