Hi, Thanks for all your feedback. I'll compile a list for the expo of your suggestions! Another question: there *MAY* be a chance that we have a spare pass for a possible GDC Expo Booth. Yes, you hear it correctly, we (IGDA GA-SIG) possible has a game accessibility booth at the GDC Expo, which is present at the GDC Conference for three days. Is there anyone on this list who might want to help out at the Expo Booth at next years GDC (Februari 2008, San Francisco), presenting/sharing games from a visually impaired gamer point of view? Travel/hotel/etc. costs are NOT covered, but if you happen to live somewhere in the Bay Area and have the time/ to help out for two or three days (or know a visually impaired gamer who does), please email me using the form on http://www.audiogames.net/contact.php ... please refer to "GDC 2008" in the subject line. I cannot promise anything but as far as I understood there will be a booth and we *MAY* need some people for that.
