As I posted yesterday, but never saw it come through here, I believe that this research may have a direct bearing on the ease with which blind people mobilize in the real world. I recently read a novel in which a graduate researcher is attempting to use GPS technology for the blind, combined with AQ-like continuous sound feedback, to give blind people an interactive tool for mapping out their surroundings. I believe that eventually this can be taken out of the virtual gaming world and combined with existing and developing technology to create an effective enhanced mobility tool and guide.
Speaking of audio game maker, I have it on my hard drive but have not been able to make hears or tails of it at all. The tutorial is more confusing than useful, and I gave up on it after a few days. Anyone who has a handle on it, write me off list, please? Thanks. _______________________________________________ AGRIP-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.agrip.org.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/agrip-discuss
