<strong>Title: Inclusive Gaming for Blind People</strong><br />
<strong>Abstract</strong>Digital games have become a widely accepted form of entertainment and an important part of social life. However, seldom have games been designed looking beyond the stereotypical young non-disabled gamer. Mainstream games are typically designed around the visual experience, with behaviours and interactions highly dependent on vision, which often leads to players being limited to specific communities and/or games based on their abilities. Attempts at improving cross-ability access to any of those are often limited in the experience they provide or disregard multiplayer experiences. <br />
<br />
In this talk, I will cover our work in inclusive gaming for blind people, I will first 1) describe how blind people are playing with others and the inherent challenges, 2) how we explored ability-based asymmetric roles as a design approach to create engaging and challenging mixed-ability play, and lastly 3) how despite inaccessibility, blind content creators are playing mainstream games.<br />
<br />
hope to see you then!<br />
Joon<br />
