Non-visual Gameplay: Making Board Games Easy and Fun

摘要

In this paper we report the results of a study on an evaluation of a game and techniques which allow playing board games in the total absence of visual feedback. We have demonstrated that a camera mouse can be used for blind navigation within a game field. Snapping a position of the virtual pointer to the regions of interest as well as audio-haptic complementary mapping significantly reduce the cognitive load and facilitate mental matching and integration of overview sound sequences.
