[Access Lunch] Next Week - =?utf-8?Q?Andr=C3=A9_?=Rodrigues (University of Lisbon LASIGE)

[Joon Jang]

Hey all, with the stay-in-place order and uncertain situation regarding what’s happening at Oakland Catholic High School near campus, we are cancelling today's Access Lunch. We’ll message again soon about future plans.

In the meantime, please stay safe.

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.
