Inclusive games - Gaming for everyone! (self.Blind)
submitted by davidslycooper
Hi! I’m David Gonçalves and I’m a researcher at the Tech & People research lab ($1). We developed two computer games with the intent to promote inclusive experiences among people with different levels of vision. These are two player games and, as such, we are inviting pairs of volunteers to test and evaluate our prototypes.

For this study, pairs must have different levels of vision (sighted-blind or sighted-low vision pairs) and must be related (family member, real-life friend, online friend, etc.). All participants must be 12 or older and minors can only participate with the authorization of the respective legal guardian. So, if you are under 18, you should first talk to your parents or legal guardian.

As part of one of these pairs, you will try these games and give your perspectives and suggestions, which will help us to assess their potential to mixed-ability gaming. Our expectation is that the games provide enjoyable experiences for all our participants. Also, we will provide a gift voucher worth 25€ from $1 to all participants as a compensation for the time.

If you, along with someone else, match these characteristics and are interested in participating, we would be very grateful for your help. You must apply as a pair and for that, either you or your play partner must send an email to **techandpeopleresearch@gmail.com** with the email addresses and ages of both (in the case of a minor participant, please give us the email of the legal tutor and the age of the participant). Both will then be contacted, so that we can send an informative briefing with which you can familiarize yourself with the study and research we do. Then, if you remain interested and any doubts you have are answered, you (or your legal tutor) can give your consent to participate.

Thank you and best regards!
