Visual guidance

Also known as: Visual cueing, Visual highlighting

Assistive techniques that direct a user's visual attention to relevant content through highlights, outlines, magnification, or other visual cues. For people with low vision, visual guidance systems can compensate for reduced visual acuity or restricted visual fields by making important elements more prominent and easier to locate. These systems are especially valuable in dynamic content like videos, where relevant visual information may appear briefly or in unpredictable locations.
