[Audyssey] The Explorer and the Mystery of the Diamond Scarab.

2012-01-22 Thread michael barnes

Hello.
I found this title for the Wii and it is fully accessible for the 
blind.  But I'm not sure how to order the game or where to buy the game.
If someone has any information about The Explorer and the Mystery of 
the Diamond Scarab please let me know.

Thanks!

'The Explorer and the Mystery of the Diamond Scarab' Launch
Published by: BillGameBase on 24th Mar 2011 | View all blogs by BillGameBase

On Friday 25 March 2011, Royal Dutch Visio, Centre of Expertise for blind 
and partially sighted people will host the worldwide launch of a unique game 
for the Wii game computer. For the first time, children with and without 
visual impairment can play together on an equal level, thanks to the game 
called The Explorer and the Mystery of the Diamond Scarab. The Mayor of 
Haren - no less - will be present at the launching of this game, which will 
take place at Visio Education Centre in Haren. Mayor Boumans will compete 
against the best player from Visio.


Visio supports, encourages and counsels visually impaired people by 
providing various courses, training and programmes. In addition to the 
positive effect of playing unhindered with peers on an equal level, this 
game also contributes to improving motoric functions and physical 
coordination.


International introduction
In addition to the school in Haren, four other Visio schools will be 
involved in the introduction of this game. A school in Sarajevo (Bosnia) 
will also participate in the launch via the partnership with Visio 
International. Via Skype connection, the various sites will be connected 
with the main site in Haren so they will experience the official 
presentation live. Before the launch, all the schools will work on a 
week-long subject: Egypt. The education institutes already have contact with 
each other via Skype and Facebook. See www.visio.org/Wii-game


Development
At the end of 2008 the collaboration partners - MAD multimedia, Principal 
Blue, TNO and Royal Dutch Visio - had decided to give the concept of Serious 
Gaming a new dimension. Within two years and with a subsidy from Innovative 
Action Programme in Groningen (Dutch: IAG2) the first official Nintendo Wii 
game was developed for children with or without visual impairment. The 
process used for this development is called co-creation, a technique in 
which the end user is involved in the development of new products and 
services. Visually impaired, blind and full sighted children contributed to 
the content and form of this game, while physical therapists, exercise 
specialists and teachers monitored the motoric aspects.


The outcome
In this game you play the role of Ben the Archaeologist who is searching for 
the Temple of the Diamond Scarab. Once he is in the temple he meets Tiri, an 
enchanting Egyptian princess. Going through a maze of underground passages 
they look for ancient Egyptian treasures and confront various challenges. 
The Guardian leads them step by step to the exit. The game is played on a 
Balance Board, a standard Wii accessory. With this you can move through the 
maze, find treasures and enter challenging situations. Since this is the 
first game in the world developed jointly for visually impaired, blind and 
fully sighted children, the game can be played in Dutch and in English.


To order the Wii game
As of April the wii game The Explorer can be ordered here:
