The Wii U Gamepad is Helping a Nearly Blind Girl Enjoy Video Games

"Jennifer, who was been diagnosed with an anoxic brain injury from birth has beat the odds to even survive, let alone walk or talk. However, Jennifer is nearly blind. She can not focus on objects within a few inches of her face, even with very thick glasses. That alone would be enough to crush someone's gaming dreams... so you would think"

Because of the gamepad, Jennifer can play watching the screen up close while using a Wiimote while her father and brothers watch the TV.
