Also, The reason why i am looking into multiplayer functionality between sighted and non sighted is to create a richness in storyline and capabilities in a platform which is used either on the go, between commuting, breaks, before going to sleep, etc.
I have tried World of Warcraft once during a particularly cloudy summer in Paris, and i got completely hooked. I was using a shadow priest with healing properties as well as destructive spells, and i found that socializing behind a magical character allowed for much fun and conversation with other players. If this type of interaction could include blind people, who will play the roles of magical creatures and denizens of the multiplayer realm, with special powers no sighted players have, it would greatly thin the divide of communication, interaction and overall identifying aspects in real society. I always went with the notion that my body here was ethereal, and that providing one's soul with an identity was essential to achieve things. It is good to be real, and be active in reality, but also essential for the nurture of one's imagination in creating worlds with one's experiential baggage, and create Avatars of oneself. A lot of writers use pseudonyms for the simple fact that they live with an alter who nurtures their space, mind and overall mental capacities to assimilate things. ANd now with the arrival of these devices which are made to increase the integration of less capacitated people by fate or accident, this can also in many respects widen the possibilities, as developement brings discovery. I should post all of these on a blog, but this is my contribution to the list. I want to use my ressources to help provide a vehicle for accessibility, to open doors to new techniques or technologies.
