Quoting Mabie A.:

i think virtual reality games can be a good way to do it, right? i mean, you see it with your mind, not with your eyes, anyway. maybe later on, we can also control the games with only our minds.

i don't think it so far-fetched, especially now that we see motion-control technology is in full-swing, whereas before it used to be just a thing of the distant, imaginary future.

what's your idea?

My idea is actually seperate from the article.
It's a question to you. Are you a female??

i'd find some empathy, before it finds you...

this is something that can be done easily with natal.

voice and gesture recognition are all you really need.

audio ques eliminate the need to see the screen, and gesture controls mean you don't have to hold a controller.

prosthetic limbs help amputees regain some use of their limbs. it's still prohibitively expensive to get even close to replicating the dexterity needed for even sony's motion sensing tech.

So the game goes....when you hear a hi pitched noise, raise your amputated leg stump.....when you hear a low pitched noise, move your amputated arm stump down ? Sounds fun....

It will be hard to make any video game that would be fun for a blind person, they are better off listening to a novel and imaging the experience that way.

Deaf people can play tetris and such...they are "accessible"

And for the person who can see and hear but has no hands...yes natal will be great...

Give it another 20 years before we are plugging into peoples brains (we can hook up video camera's to blind people and give them images good enough to distinguish objects...not bad)

run around a corner, get shot. wait to respawn, run around a corner shoot someone. sounds fun...

it's pretty common that when one sense is lost the others are augmented.

it may be something along the lines of a test your hearing game where you react differently to different tones. i'm a consumer, not a producer... so i'll leave being creative and innovative up to the people that get paid to do it.

just being blind is easier to do with current controllers, but still no one has done it.

with all the formulaic crap that the industry churns out now, yes it would be difficult... but it's still worth doing.

you can't really tell someone else what they are better off doing. if it's what they want to do, and they can, let em.

It has to start somewhere
It has to start sometime
What better place than here
What better time than now

It's like making songs for deafs... Video games uses the word "VIDEO" and not for nothing.

How the hell can you play a game without a tv? Even if it would say "you are too right, turn left to be in the center of the road" or things like that, it wouldn't work... This is impossible for blind people.

@dustinfoley: You say: make it no-fail mode? LOL. This is not a game then, it's a music with non-working plastic intruments for them to play on, lol. You would need a kind of sensor thing, and how the hell they would know where to hit with the drum for exemple? lol.

Sadly, it's impossible for blond people, err, blind people.

my lil brother is blind and yet on wii sports he gets a perfect game in bowling -.-
i can barely get 250 :@

*gamers, not games. Although sometimes they seem to be disabled. I've lost track of all the glitches I've seen in Borderlands.
