Empathy exercises don’t work

Eyeware is a new immersive app, just released by RNIB and the UK’s Transport Systems Catapult. It simulates different types of visual impairment.

Microsoft Design tweeted (later deleted) that it enabled you to feel like what it is to live with a serious eye condition.

This is very, very wrong. It is at the core of why empathy exercises don’t work.
