LONDON: Researchers have developed 'video-less' 3D games that rely on sound instead of sight to allow visually impaired players to experience the joys of digital gaming. The 'video-less' games use a production technique known as binaural recording to construct an immersive, audio-only world. The technique involves fitting a dummy with tiny condenser microphones that mimic the way our ears naturally hear sound. Each scene in the game is recorded using this method and the result is a more realistic, three-dimensional experience. Players must rely on their aural senses to navigate through levels. The latest game in this genre has just been launched by a team of developers in France. They used a crowdfunding campaign to raise over 31,000 pounds to turn their demo into a functioning prototype.
