An aspect that deserves special attention is the inclusion of users and athletes with limited or no vision in the use of the TPV platform. To ensure global and equitable access, let us consider three key points that could radically transform their experience.
First, the implementation of VoiceOver across various platforms would allow them to navigate the screen and access races or training sessions with ease. Second, an auditory feature similar to that of cycling computers could provide differentiated sound signals to indicate right or left turns, ascents, descents, and other course details. Complementing this with the ability to customize colors for colorblind users would pave the way for real and meaningful accessibility.
It’s important to reflect on how this often-overlooked group of athletes is also part of the user community. While their participation may seem like a limited niche, their inclusion would not only expand the platform’s reach but also demonstrate a true commitment to equality. It’s worth noting that these users pay their subscriptions just like anyone else but face significant barriers that hinder full access to these tools.
Facilitating access for people with limited vision is not just a technical improvement; it’s a significant step toward social integration and the true spirit of sportsmanship. It’s essential to remember that we, the fortunate ones with the ability to see, have an opportunity to make a meaningful impact by opening the door to this virtual training space.

We, together with several associations, including professional trainers for limited vision cyclists/thriatletes could support with this issue.
