I doubt that a sight impairment issue can be solved by a window manager
or by graphics. What I think that a computer which is friendly to blind

in braile or in sound. The input side is quite solved, as of nowadays.

Connecting at a lower level would probably give worse results. For
Gnome software for example, I don't believe they write text using the X
