FERDIG Research Center for Educational Technology, Kent State University [email protected] There are two disparate ways to describe the relationship between digital games and special needs (i.e., physical, cognitive and even socio-cultural conditions than require specific interventions in everyday life routines, learning activi- ties, and general accessibility). On one hand, it can be argued that the sector is becoming more inclusive. For instance, assistive technologies are gaining a foothold in the game industry with innovative hardware (e.g., the Microsoft Adaptive Controller), focused efforts of researchers and practitioners (e.g., the IGDA game accessibility interest group or the Games For Health conferences), increased customization interfaces and input systems (e.g., those offered in the games Overwatch or Uncharted 4), and focused funding initiatives (e.g., Able- Gamers Charity and Special Effect).Conversely, one could also argue that the concerns of individuals with special needs represent an overlooked area. For ex- ample, toxicity and disruptive behaviors across game audiences (e.g., “Gamer- gate” see Mortesen, 2016) represent additional sources of biases, games are not accessible to all players, and the literature about special needs and gaming is scarce (with the notable exceptions of Carr, 2014; Champlin, 2014; Ledder, 2015). Additional research is required to respond to these opposing perspective as well as to further impact policy and practice. There are least four reasons to justify such a claim. 1. Video games are at the forefront of technological adoption (Duggan, 2015). Given their ubiquity, they are ideal testing grounds for prob- lematizing current interactive affordances and patterns and developing new and more inclusive solutions. 2. Video games and interactive media shape society and culture (Ferdig, 2018). They convey representations, ideologies, biases, and view- points. Gamers and game developers take a stand that is not as neutral as it may appear at first glance (Gandolfi & Ferdig, 2018). Shedding light on how the medium deals with the issues faced by individuals with special needs becomes crucial for understanding and perhaps changing social perspectives (from reiterating stereotypes to suggest- ing alternative perspectives). Enrico Gandolfi Kaybeth Calabria & Richard E. Ferdig https://www.gamejournal.it/07_gandolfi-calabria-ferdig 5 Issue 07 – 2018 Introduction 3. The combination of technical and cultural perspectives can effectively support two leading approaches to individuals with special needs – i.e., the social model (Bickenbacha, Chatterji, Badley, & Üstünet al., 1999) and the cultural lens (Wolbring, 2008; Campbell, 2009). The former refers to efforts aimed at making society more inclusive (equal possibilities, no barriers), while the latter addresses prejudices and constructed ideas of normality and abnormality. By combining these two foci, analyzing digital entertainment may become an ideal bat- tleground for reflecting on disability

  • Design Guidelines for Audio Games
    Design Guidelines for Audio Games Franco Eusébio Garcia and Vânia Paula de Almeida Neris Federal University of Sao Carlos (UFSCar), Sao Carlos, Brazil {franco.garcia,vania}@dc.ufscar.br Abstract. This paper presents guidelines to aid on the design of audio games. Audio games are games on which the user interface and game events use pri- marily sounds instead of graphics to convey information to the player. Those games can provide an accessible gaming experience to visually impaired play- ers, usually handicapped by conventional games. The presented guidelines resulted of existing literature research on audio games design and implementa- tion, of a case study and of a user observation performed by the authors. The case study analyzed how audio is used to create an accessible game on nine au- dio games recommended for new players. The user observation consisted of a playtest on which visually impaired users played an audio game, on which some interaction problems were identified. The results of those three studies were analyzed and compiled in 50 design guidelines. Keywords: audio games, accessibility, visual impairment, design, guidelines. 1 Introduction The evolution of digital interfaces continually provides simpler, easier and more intui- tive ways of interaction. Especially in games, the way a player interacts with the system may affect his/her overall playing experience, immersion and satisfaction. Currently, game interfaces mostly rely on graphics to convey information to the play- er. Albeit being an effective way to convey information to the average user, graphical interfaces might be partially or even totally inaccessible to the visually impaired. Those users are either unable or have a hard time playing a conventional game, as the graphical content of the user interface is usually essential to the gameplay.

Schmidt (Hrsg.): Mensch und Computer 2015 Workshopband, Stuttgart: Oldenbourg Wissenschaftsverlag, 2015, S. 423-429. Playing with sound and gesture in digital audio games Dr. Sonia Fizek 1, Dr. Julie Woletz 2, Jarosław Beksa 3 Gamification Lab, Centre for Digital Cultures, Leuphana University Lüneburg 1 Media Uselab, Centre for Digital Cultures, Leuphana University Lüneburg 2 School of Computer and Mathematical Sciences, Auckland University of Technology 3 Abstract This article introduces the genre of a digital audio game and discusses selected play interaction solu- tions implemented in the Audio Game Hub , a prototype designed and evaluated in the years 2014 and 2015 at the Gamification Lab at Leuphana University Lüneburg. 1 The Audio Game Hub constitutes a set of familiar playful activities (aiming at a target, reflex-based reacting to sound signals, labyrinth exploration) and casual games (e.g. Tetris , Memory ) adapted to the digital medium and converted into the audio sphere, where the player is guided predominantly or solely by sound. The authors will discuss the design questions raised at early stages of the project, and confront them with the results of user experience testing performed on two groups of sighted and one group of visually impaired gamers. 1 Introducing digital audio games Have you been mesmerized in your childhood by playing the “ blind man's buff“? Or maybe you always wondered why the fables read out by your parents were far more magical than their counterparts watched on the TV screen? After all, sounds have limitless potential to create beautifully immersive sceneries without the help of a single paintbrush or animated pixel.

This is an invaluable area of research as it is this population that would benefit the most from accessible technology enabling inclusion and participation in society. “Nobody makes ga mes for us” was a motivator for this research. This paper describes the process of creating a set of audio games for the visually impaired. The principles of audio game design are discussed and based upon these the Audio Game Hub is proposed. Audio Game Hu b is currently a set of four audio games that have suitable interfaces for the visually impaired. Audio Game Hub is currently available for download on multiple platforms and has seen popularity with both visually impaired and normal sighted players, which provides an area for future research.

  • Game Audio in Audio Games Towards a Theory on the Roles and Functions of Sound in Audio Games
    Dalarna University College Sound and Music Production 180 ECTS Credits Bachelor Programme Bachelor Degree Thesis Game Audio in Audio Games Towards a Theory on the Roles and Functions of Sound in Audio Games Written by Rickard Åsén Supervisor: Johnny Wingstedt Course coordinator: Toivo Burlin Examiner: Jacob Derkert Publishing year: 2013 B A C H E L O R D E G R E E T HESIS G A M E A U D I O I N A U D I O G AMES Abstract For the past few decades, researchers have increased our understanding of how sound functions within various audio–visual media formats. With a different focus in mind, this study aims to identify the roles and functions of sound in relation to the game form Audio Games, in order to explore the potential of sound when acting as an autonomous narrative form. Because this is still a relatively unexplored research field, the main purpose of this study is to help establish a theoretical ground and stimulate further research within the field of audio games. By adopting an interdisciplinary approach to the topic, this research relies on theoretical studies, examinations of audio games and contact with the audio game community. In order to reveal the roles of sound, the gathered data is analyzed according to both a contextual and a functional perspective. The research shows that a distinction between the terms ‘function’ and ‘role’ is important when analyzing sound in digital games. The analysis therefore results in the identification of two analytical levels that help define the functions and roles of an entity within a social context, named the Functional and the Interfunctional levels.

  • A Survey on Sound-Based Games
    JOURNAL OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS & OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT A SURVEY ON SOUND-BASED GAMES Diana-Elena BELMEGA 1* Costin-Anton BOIANGIU 2 ABSTRACT This paper aims to explore the realm of sound-based games and to discover this field originality, challenges and advancements. Fully discovering and enjoying a sound-based game does not mean only to pay attention to the various sounds that “surrounds” the player, but to try to construct in player’s imagination the world that generated them. This is a world where imagination, music composition, sound generation, imaginative plots and a lot of modern technologies intersect. In recent years, a consistent list of titles from all the game territories (action, adventure, survival thriller, stealth thriller, mystery, horror, psychological, first-person shooter, and puzzle-based adventure) have emerged. The paper at hand tried to make a novelty-based selection of the representative games and will try to understand their main concept, and their contributions to the genre. KEYWORDS: Sound-Based Games, Sense Substitution, Binaural Audio, Sonic Landscape, Soundscape, VR Headset, Doppler Effect. 1. INTRODUCTION 1.1. About sound-based games While having sound in a game is common nowadays, when referring to sound-based games, one means that these games put an emphasis on the sound and use it as one of the main mechanisms of the game. One example is using sound intensity to guide the player towards its source in a dark environment. 1.2. Action game As explained in the book Fundamentals of Game Design, by Ernest Adams, an action game is a game in which the player’s physical skills and coordination are tested [1].

  • Exploring Audio Storytelling in Mobile Exergames to Affect the Perception of Physical Exercise
    Exploring Audio Storytelling in Mobile Exergames to Affect the Perception of Physical Exercise Luca Chittaro and Francesco Zuliani HCI Lab, Department of Mathematics and Computer Science University of Udine, Italy [email protected], [email protected] Abstract—Exergames (video games that combine exercise and ing a physical activity is hard. For these reasons, the design of play) can make the experience of physical activities more enjoy- effective mobile exergames requires alternative solutions to the able. Mobile exergames are particularly interesting as they can use of graphics as a primary element to engage the player in the be used for outdoors, open-air physical activities. Unfortunately, game. Therefore, our research pursued two main goals. First, current mobile exergames tend to require the player to frequently we wanted to explore how to use audio storytelling techniques or continuously look at the screen. This can be hard to do while to make physical exercise more engaging and enjoyable by exercising, and it also requires the player to considerably distract visual attention from the surrounding physical environment, exploiting a soundscape that provides prompt feedback in introducing safety issues in activities such as outdoor running. In response to players’ activity, and does not require the player to this paper, we focus on two main goals. First, we explore how to look at the screen during running. Second, we wanted to study use audio storytelling techniques to make physical exercise more if the exergame was fun for users and if it could positively engaging and enjoyable by exploiting a soundscape that provides affect the perception of physical exercise.

  • DALGLEISH Revised
    There are no universal interfaces: how asymmetrical roles and asymmetrical controllers can increase access diversity Mat Dalgleish Abstract Many people with a disability play games despite difficulties in relation to access or quality of experience. Better access is needed, but there has been limited industry interest. For players with motor impairments the focus has been on the controller. Numerous solutions have been developed by third parties, but all are likely unsuitable for at least some users and there remains space for radically alternative angles. Informed by my experiences as a disabled gamer, concepts of affordance and control dimensionality are used to discuss the accessibility implications of controller design from the Magnavox Odyssey to the present. Notions of incidental body-controller fit and precarious accessibility are outlined. I subsequently draw on Lévy’s theory of collective intelligence and example games Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes and Artemis Spaceship Bridge Commander to develop a model that uses asymmetrical roles and diverse input to fit individual abilities and thereby expand participation. Keywords: disability; controllers; asymmetrical roles; motor impairment; control dimensionality Introduction The barriers faced by people with disabilities are often considered in terms of two theoretical models: the medical model and the social model. The medical model of disability locates disability in the mind or body of the individual “patient” and emphasises linear restoration to “normality” (Gough, 2005). This was contested (UPIAS, 1976, pp. 3-4; Locker, 1983, p. 90) and there followed a shift to a social model of disability that posited that people are disabled by the attitudes of society (Shakespeare, 2016).

  • Coding Vs. Aesthetics
    Game Audio : Coding vs. Aesthetics Leonard J. Paul info [at] lotusaudio.com Abstract The key to creating successful immersive game audio to balance the technical and creative elements. Too often one is sacrificed at the expense of the other due to their assumed opposing natures. In the “good old days” of video game audio, one person would wear both hats of audio coder and sound designer/composer. In today’s video game world with escalating budgets and highly complex game platforms, the work must be split between several people, which threatens to increase this fundamental rift. In an effort to bridge this problem we should approach audio production from the creative and technical viewpoints simultaneously to arrive at the desired goal of successful game audio. Topics 1) Prototyping 2) Peer Review 3) Audio Control Parameters 4) Voice and Memory Usage 5) Tools 6) Automated Dynamic Mixing Video Game Audio Process Levels Level 1: Largely unaware of existing practices. Misapplication of practices. Level 2: Aware of existing practices. Application of existing techniques. Level 3: Proactive practice of techniques. Apply and create new effective techniques. Usage Terms The term “composer” is used to mean sound artist, sound designer or otherwise the person creating audio content for the game and deciding how it should play. “Coder” is a term meant to apply to the game audio programmer or otherwise the person responsible for realizing the structures which control the audio playback in the game. Coding vs. Aesthetics Many things have changed from the days of “bleeps and bloops” of yesteryear to our multi- channel 3D digital surround-sound audio systems of today, but the basic context in which we create video game audio has remained primarily unchanged.
