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] <mailto:[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
