well some older tvs just use mono, my tv does this.
I guess that a stereo tv could be used, my sighted friends do use
headphones on their computers and consoles as they do use sound for
direction, but we would need more than that.
Most games have a target scope, and other location systems.
That may be quite easy ofcause but we are blind.
And unless you have games like swamp where its listening really hard
most want to just run through.

Hello Thomas,
As a totally blind person since birth, I have had very little or no
experience with mainstream games. I do not know how Wii's wok, or
what kind of gaming my friends who own such consoles are up to. It
is only fair that the blind people have one place, called audio
games, and sighted people have mainstream. Now it is a good thing
that we are trying to combine the two together to make this
experience fun for everyone. Unfortunately, time does not wait for
no one, and we have lives to live.
One specific game I was looking forward to was the "Legend of Zelda,
Skyward Sword". It is one of those games played on the Wii, and
according to the audio games forum, someone said that it is not
fully accessible. I was wondering if there would ever be a time
that it could be made accessible. I have some ideas as to how to
make any mainstream accessible.
We all know that for blind people, we have to use headphones to hear
where sounds are coming. Unfortunately, most television sets have
mono speakers, and a few are starting to have headphone 3.5 MM jacks
As mentioned earlier, I am ignorant to this world of
mainstream-gaming. I do not chow how much support there is in
playing games. How do blind people navigate the menus, select items,
play the game, check their score and other vital signs with the game
controller? There are many types of controllers. It sounds like one
is going to have to get used to a brand-new system that is totally unfamiliar
Usually I consider video-gaming to be very distracting, but if there
was something good that came out of those mainstream games, then I
would want OT see how accessibility could be improved.
