At CES 2023 on Wednesday, Samsung previewed a new TV mode to help people with visual impairments. Called Relumino mode, this feature has layers of camera technology that enhance contours, sharpen contrast, and enhance colors. The result is a sharper, easier-to-see image. This was the final announcement of the event, and those in attendance and his Twitter audience seemed happy to see Samsung finish announcing accessibility.

Samsung’s Relumino technology already exists in the form of mobile apps for VR devices. Relumino mode is now coming to Samsung Neo QLED 8K and 4K TVs later this year. A key part of Samsung’s message at this year’s CES is to “bring calm to the connected world” and “genuinely enable better, more personal, more intuitive experiences.” and making life easier for consumers. Relumino Mode is an example of an accessibility initiative that Samsung and many other technology companies are increasingly focusing on in devices such as TVs and smartphones. Earlier this year, Apple introduced door detection using his LiDAR sensor for iPads and iPhones, and Amazon announced a “tap to Alexa” feature for Fire HD.
