Subject: [blind-gamers] Inclusive Gaming - Games for Everyone!
I'm David and I'm a researcher working in Lisbon, Portugal. Let me start by
saying that although I am not active on the mailing list, it's a very important
source of information for my work in accessible gaming. About 7 months ago I
shared my research work on inclusive gaming, on this list. At the time I was
trying to contact people with visual impairments who could help me by sharing
their gaming experiences. I would like to thank again everyone who completed
the survey. I come again for help.
I developed two computer games with the intent to promote inclusive
experiences among people with different levels of vision. These are two player
games and, as such, we are inviting pairs of volunteers to test and evaluate
our prototypes.
For this study, pairs must have different levels of vision (sighted-blind or
sighted-low vision pairs) and must be related (family member, real-life friend,
online friend, etc.). All participants must be 12 or older and minors can only
participate with the authorization of the respective legal guardian. So, if you
are under 18 and you're interested, you should first talk to your parents or
legal guardian.
As part of one of these pairs, you will try these games and give your
perspectives and suggestions, which will help us to assess their potential to
mixed-ability gaming. Our expectation is that the games provide enjoyable
experiences for all our participants. Also, we will provide a gift voucher
worth 25€ from Amazon.com to all participants as a compensation for the time.
If you, along with someone else, match these characteristics and are
interested in participating, we would be very grateful for your help. You must
apply as a pair and for that, either you or your play partner must send an
email to [email protected] with the email addresses and ages of
both (in the case of a minor participant, please give us the email of the legal
tutor and the age of the participant). Both will then be contacted, so that we
can send an informative briefing with which you can familiarize yourself with
the study and research we do. Then, if you remain interested and any doubts you
have are answered, you (or your legal tutor) can give your consent to
participate. Any question, please feel free to ask me.
Thank you and best regards! 😄
David Gonçalves
