Findings

Developed methods for sensory information transformation.

Proposed design strategies for sensory-constrained game interactions.

Aimed to improve inclusivity and shared experiences in gaming.

Abstract

In this paper we examine methods for taking game-related information provided in one sensory modality and transforming it to another sensor modality in order to more effectively accommodate sensory-constrained players. We then consider methods for the adaptation and design of games for which gameplay interactions are constrained to a subset of sensory modalities in ways that preserve a common level of novelty-of-experience for players with different sensory capabilities. It is hoped that improved shared experiences can promote interactions among a more diverse spectrum of players.
