Our project makes gaming accessible to the blind while offering an immersive, audio-driven experience for all. It trains spatial awareness, improves auditory focus, enables inclusive multiplayer gameplay, and could transform education, therapy, and Paralympic esports alike.
Designing for Zero Visual Feedback: Creating intuitive gameplay without relying on visuals was a major design challenge.
Audio Precision: Achieving accurate and consistent spatial audio cues across different headphones required fine-tuning.
Haptic Synchronization: Ensuring real-time vibration feedback synced seamlessly with game events took careful calibration.
Hardware Integration: Building a compact, responsive controller with IMU and vibration motor was tricky due to wiring, latency, and ergonomics.
User Testing: Gathering feedback from visually impaired players and adapting based on diverse sensory responses was essential — and humbling.
