RE: 3D audio game
Yuma, what is this team that you speak of? Are you selling anything, or is this a type of hobbyist group? I just remember seeing a post from you every few weeks for the last few months about things that your team is looking in to, but I'm completely ignorant about who, and what, you and your team are. Are they blind devs? Are they sighted iPhone devs curious about helping the blind? Is your team hired outsourcers? Do you work for a larger company, and so manage this team?

They will have augmented powers in audio form which allows them to hear sighted players move farther away than the sighted do. We were also thinking about magic spells for the blind players and a full control system with inventory, barter system, dialogue system and using an acapella voice, one of the british male ones, for the narrative and object information. This engine is in Java form when scripting links between components, but we're looking into the feasibility of voice over integration within unity for labelling purposes. I think that by increasing CPU usage on an audio only game experience, we can bump up the audio quality as well as positional relations/effects modulation on the fly without taxing the system too much. Think two versions of the app. The visual one and the audio only one. This is still at concept stage, but tests are already undergoing to make this a reality. If anyone is interested please do let me know, as i will require feedback on the first builds of the game.

RE: 3D audio game
Thanks Jim. The NLS player is a cool little piece of tech. Mobile games would be fun, especially since they're good ways to pass time when you're out and about. Desktop games are easier to produce and sell, but there probably are more blind people with an iPhone than a Mac, so it makes sense to sell to the larger group. There are more blind people using Windows than any other platform, and accessible game developers for Windows still have a hard time finding enough customers to even support the full time work of a single developer. For now, at least, I can't imagine that there would be enough financial support in the blind Mac community to make it possible for someone to create a commercial accessible game. There are some free games coming that are ports from Windows, so haven't required the work of creating a game from scratch. Looking to the future, most blind programmers that are in to accessible games are envisioning online games more than stand-alone games. At least for online games, most of the programming for the game runs on the server. The computers of the gamers run a relatively simple program called a client. Instead of containing all of the programming for the game, the client just contains code to send and receive commands from the server: tell the server about key presses, read messages that come back from the server, play sounds, etc. Since the clients aren't extremely complicated, it will be easier to make versions of the clients for Windows, Mac, Linux, and portable devices as time goes on. That way, we won't necessarily have games just for Windows, or just for Mac. The game will just be out there on the Internet, and we'll get Windows or Mac clients to access it. Also, its quite difficult for people to pirate an online game. They can share the client all they want, but they can't connect to the server without a paid account. Most all of the accessible game developers on Windows have been burned very hard by cracks. Many of them aren't able to afford to continue developing games because of the missed income.

Re: how to go page up and page down in a text area?
Hello Jonathan, I also have a MacBook, and when using TextEdit I use Control-V to move down one page. You will need to set your Navigation options to check Mouse cursor follows VoiceOver cursor under VoiceOver Utility to use this with RTF documents. This is in Leopard; I don't know whether there are conflicts with Snow Leopard settings. Some time ago, Greg Kearney posted a link to the emacs-style default system Cocoa commands: http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/Site/System%20Bindings.html The first set of these commands are simply the ones for moving and selecting that were described in this archived post about Moving and Selecting in Cocoa apps: http://www.mail-archive.com/macvisionaries%40googlegroups.com/msg02038.html The second set of commands are Control key sequences that deal with moving with scrolling, including page up and page down. Of these, the sequences that move or select to the beginning or end of a document (or table listing, such as in the messages table for mail) work with VoiceOver: (VO-Home and VO-End, or VO-Fn-Shift-Left Arrow and VO-Fn- Shift-Right Arrow on a laptop -- although recently we were told that holding down the Option key while pressing the Up Arrow or Down Arrow button and waiting for a while will also work). In a recent discussion, Anne posted: Begin forwarded message: Hello everyone, The situation with Home, End, Page up and Page down is this. When you use these commands, the visual focus moves but the VO focus does not. So, for totally blind users, it appears as though they don't work. Cheers, Anne I think what happens for arbitrary scrolling and paging, the visual focus will not necessarily fall on a line that has VoiceOver focus, unless you move to the beginning or end of a document where this line is well defined, and that's why the scrolling/page up or down commands work in these cases, but not for paging movement within the document. The third set of commands are the emacs-like combinations with the Control key pressed together with letter keys. Control-v to move down a page is in this category. I suspect that these all work because they are oriented for editing lines, words, and characters in a document. Even so, you may experience focus-related problems if you are working with anything except plain text documents, unless you have your mouse cursor tracking your VoiceOver cursor, and you may have to try to move (e.g. VO-Right arrow) to have VoiceOver update and pick up from the location you jumped to. The other thing you can try is to use the Find command (Command-F) to move to point later in your document. Again, this is in Leopard, and results depend on your navigation settings. This will work if you have everything except VoiceOver cursor follows Mouse cursor checked under navigation, and specifically have Mouse cursor follows VoiceOver cursor checked. Of this last group of commands, the ones I sometimes use are: Control-amove to beginning of line Control-emove to end of line Control-xtranspose letters (good for typos) Control-vmove one page down HTH.

Re: 3D audio game
Also, The reason why i am looking into multiplayer functionality between sighted and non sighted is to create a richness in storyline and capabilities in a platform which is used either on the go, between commuting, breaks, before going to sleep, etc. I have tried World of Warcraft once during a particularly cloudy summer in Paris, and i got completely hooked. I was using a shadow priest with healing properties as well as destructive spells, and i found that socializing behind a magical character allowed for much fun and conversation with other players. If this type of interaction could include blind people, who will play the roles of magical creatures and denizens of the multiplayer realm, with special powers no sighted players have, it would greatly thin the divide of communication, interaction and overall identifying aspects in real society. I always went with the notion that my body here was ethereal, and that providing one's soul with an identity was essential to achieve things. It is good to be real, and be active in reality, but also essential for the nurture of one's imagination in creating worlds with one's experiential baggage, and create Avatars of oneself. A lot of writers use pseudonyms for the simple fact that they live with an alter who nurtures their space, mind and overall mental capacities to assimilate things. ANd now with the arrival of these devices which are made to increase the integration of less capacitated people by fate or accident, this can also in many respects widen the possibilities, as developement brings discovery. I should post all of these on a blog, but this is my contribution to the list. I want to use my ressources to help provide a vehicle for accessibility, to open doors to new techniques or technologies.

Re: how to go page up and page down in a text area?
Hi Jonathan, I can use Control-v to move down a page in TextEdit without setting mouse follows VoiceOver cursor, but you asked about use in Pages as well as in TextEdit. I usually have TextEdit set to work with plain text files by default, which is better for multi-lingual use. In that case, I have no need to set my mouse cursor to follow my VoiceOver cursor. However, there are instances where I've been sent a Word document or RTF formatted file. In those cases, I may need to set my mouse cursor to follow my VoiceOver cursor to navigate reliably without losing focus, which is why I included that comment. (I checked some documents before replying, and I had to reset my cursor tracking to navigate consistently for some documents that were not plain text. This was also the case for some instances where I used find to move to the end of the file on the basis of a text search.) OK, try this. I can't find it documented anywhere if I run a Google search, but I can use Fn-Option-Up arrow and Fn-Option-Down arrow to move up and down a page in TextEdit. I'm a little hesitant to recommend something non-standard, because at one time I imported some WordService keybinding definitions into my Services menu. (It turns out I had to fix quite a number of instances where I removed conflicts with existing key definitions after I did this.) I don't think these sequences were part of the definitions, but you'll just have to try the combinations out and see whether they work for you. Again, I'm using an Early 2008 MacBook (the last 13 release before the Unibody models came out) with Leopard. Let me know whether this works. Also, two slightly off-topic items that may be of interest to you: First, I recall that you program in Python. The latest entry in O'Reilly's eBook Deal of the Day at: feed://feeds.feedburner.com/oreilly/ebookdealoftheday is Learning Python 4th ed. for $9.99 for the eBook bundle (DRM-free, PDF, ePub, and other formats) with the coupon code of DDPYT. These are updated not quite every day, and the current code is still good (for about a $30 savings on this 1216 page volume by Mark Lutz, released September 2009). Also, a while ago there was some discussion about how to read your (Spanish) blog in English. I meant to point out that anyone can copy a java scriptlet from the Google Translate page and save it as a bookmark on their Bookmarks bar. Because you'd want the java scriptlet to get pasted into the address field of the bookmark, what you'd do is copy an existing bookmark and then edit the name and address field. Then, you'd paste in the java scriptlet for your language into the address field. If this were saved as the first bookmark, for example, then pressing Command-1 would translate the contents of any current web page into your selected language. So you'd do the following in Safari. (Note, keeping the bookmarks bar and address bar hidden usually makes navigation of the bookmarks page easier, although it's not necessary: toggle the bookmarks bar on and off with Command-Shift-B, and toggle the address bar (also known as toolbar) on or off with Command-Shift-Backslash on an English language keyboard or else use the Safari View menu on the menu bar to Hide toolbar) 1. Open the bookmarks page (Command-Option-B) 2. Navigate to the table of bookmark collections and folders (I usually use Command-F followed by Shift-Tab to get to this table, but tabbing or shift tabbing will get you there) and interact (VO-Shift- Down arrow) 3. Select the Bookmarks Bar (either arrrow down or type the first few letters of the name) 4. Stop interacting with the table of bookmark collections and folders (VO-Shift-Up arrow) 5. Navigate (VO-Right arrow) to the table of Bookmarks Bar bookmarks and interact (VO-Shift-Down Arrow) 6. Move to the top of the table (VO-Home, or VO-Fn-Shift-Left Arrow on a laptop) 7.

Re: Itunes 9, Songs Table VS Album View
Hi Jim, This is doubtless old-fashioned of me, but I prefer to use list view and use the file browser (now name the column browser) to view the songs table. However, here's the way to change your songs table to show as groups of albums: Switch to grid view, either by using the shortcut sequence (Command- Option-4), selecting as Grid in the View menu on the iTunes menu bar, or by navigating to the Grid View Switcher button in the iTunes application and pressing (VO-Space). The view buttons are next to the search text field, so the fastest way to get to them in general is to move to the search text field (Command-Option-F) and then VO-Left arrow to the view button you want (list, grid, or cover flow) and press it. For completeness, the iTunes view buttons are: Command-Option-1 Shows or hides the main iTunes window Command-Option-2 Shows or hides the Equalizer Command-Option-3 Show as list Command-Option-4 Show as grid Command-Option-5 Show as Cover Flow In grid view, you can then choose one of the buttons for Album, Artists, Genres, or Composers and press (VO-Space). The entries in the grid will be displayed according to your category. Navigate through by Album, and use VO-Space to view the individual tracks associated with that album. My preference is to use list view (Command-Option-3), and select albums using the file browser (toggled on or off with Command-B). I immediately set the iTunes 9 configuration back to the way this worked for iTunes 8 and earlier: namely, after setting to list view, I went to the View menu on the iTunes menu bar (Command-M, then press V), and arrowed down to Column Browser, then used right arrow to move to the submenu and arrowed down to On top. I also selected albums under the Column Browser submenu so that I could use the browser to select both artists and albums. Unfortunately, each selected option requires a separate trip to the View menu on the iTunes menu bar. Setting up the file browser this way under the list view menu options works fine for me -- an easy way to select albums or multiple albums by the same artist and view tracks.
