Hi All I found this article in the newsletter issued by the south African council for the blind. Those who play games on a console will find this interesting. Gamers with impaired vision usually have a hard time finding games they can play with their sighted friends. The researchers at MIT's (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Gambit Game Lab have been working with the Wii to create a game that will address this problem. They unveiled the fruits of their labour on Tuesday: a game called AudiOdyssey. The game is all about creating danceable music by layering complex sounds. It uses the Wii's motion-sensitive controllers to get you around the game. Anyone that can hear can play. Since the sound is base, all gamers regardless of vision capability, will be on the same playing level. If this kind of play takes off, the public can expect to see more games like this show up on Wiiware.
