Innovations in Accessibility

Today, video entertainment is widely available and easier to access than ever before. The same is true for accessibility features, aspects of products or services that allows those with some type of disability to access entertainment or to better enjoy their entertainment experience. Disabilities exist across a very broad spectrum, and providing accessibility solutions requires offering multiple customizable options. Thus, innovation in accessibility can be highly creative, highly complex, and, in some cases, highly expensive. This report discusses the current drivers affecting innovation in accessibility, explores specific innovation initiatives evident in the market today, and assesses the future of accessibility innovation. While this report evaluates the evidence for innovations in accessibility, advances that are still being tested in the lab will continue to emerge over the next few years. DATA SOURCES: Executive interviews; Published company information and industry data; Online surveys of US consumers performed from 2019 – 2021.
