In this paper, we consider the use of games in the rehabilitation of disabled people, with particular attention to blind and partially sighted people. Serious games are currently very widely used in a variety of applications including education, training, culture, therapy and rehabilitation. However, this raises the issues of whether they are suitable for disabled people and the extent to which disabled people have been involved in the design. We will be reporting the results of a survey to investigate the extent to which existing and proposed games are accessible to disabled and older people, particularly blind and partially sighted people.

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the use of games in the rehabilitation of disabled people, with particular attention to blind and partially sighted people. Serious games are currently very widely used in a variety of applications including education, training, culture, therapy and rehabilitation. However, this raises the issues of whether they are suitable for disabled people and the extent to which disabled people have been involved in the design. We will be reporting the results of a survey to investigate the extent to which existing and proposed games are accessible to disabled and older people, particularly blind and partially sighted people.
