Re.: [blind-gamers] Inclusive Gaming - Games for Everyone!

[David Gonçalves]

Hi, Christina! In these games, each player has different interactions and challenges, but rely on each other to succeed. In one of the games, players control a submarine. In the other, players control an airplane. Sorry if it's a vague description, don't want to disclose everything about the games to leave some surprise. :) Thanks for the interest, David -------- Mensagem original -------- Assunto: Re: [blind-gamers] Inclusive Gaming - Games for Everyone! De: Christina Nixon Para: blind-gamers@groups.io CC: Hi, What types of games are these? Thank you. Christina     From: blind-gamers@groups.io <blind-gamers@groups.io> On Behalf Of David Gonçalves Sent: Tuesday, July 21, 2020 4:34 PM To: blind-gamers@groups.io 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 techandpeopleresea...@gmail.com 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 _._,_._,_ Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
