“…Seki et al designed the wide-range auditory orientation-training system (WR-AOTS) with incorporated game characteristics so that instructors (walking trainers) for the visually impaired enable trainees to develop the auditory sense of simulated actual cases [41]. ShadowRine, developed by Matsuo et al, is an inclusive, action role-playing game that supports three presentation modalities: visual, auditory, and tactile [23,25]. Notably, they created a game development environment for the blind that uses Otonove for creating text information and an audible mapper for 2D mapping.…”

“…They developed a scheme such that sighted and visually impaired players can move their bodies commonly, and auditory and haptic feedback can substitute for visual feedback. Matsuo et al developed an accessible action role-playing game (RPG) that anyone can play, regardless of visual conditions [23,25]. The RPG was designed so players played using only auditory and tactile cues, and graphical features were added to allow sighted players to play it.…”

Although many computer games have become diversified in recent years, much effort and ingenuity are needed to produce games that persons with visual impairments can enjoy. However, game developers face difficulties in adjusting the parameters of these games, including difficulty and interface features, because the control skills and disability conditions of gamers vary. Thus, it is essential to establish a scheme to evaluate game interfaces and stages with individuals trials with a short time. In this study, our purpose is to propose and establish the concept of GAME (Game As a Measurement Environment) that can evaluate game interfaces and stages. This concept aims to divide a game stage into substages and then randomly allocate them to the stage. Then, the generated stage records the play logs and play conditions and then analyzes them logs based on test theories, including classical test theory (CTT) and item response theory (IRT). Based on the analysis of the gathered play logs of side-scroller action games, our concept could clarify the relationship between the stage contents, interface effects, and players skills and disabilities.

“…Based on this shortage, we have been developing accessible games for visually impaired people that feature enriched materials and multimodal information presentation. We developed an action RPG (role-playing game) that visually impaired, and sighted person can play together [6,7]. This RPG is able to present game information acoustically, tactually, and visually.…”

Though many computer games have recently become accessible for gamers with visual impairments, these players still face difficulty in manipulating game characters and acquiring visual information. It is true that although an increasing number of games for visually impaired people called audio games are being developed, many of these games cannot satisfy their basic needs because of the shortage of contents and are difficult for sighted people because of no visual information. Based on this situation, we have been developing accessible games for visually impaired people that feature enriched materials and multimodal information presentation. However, the needs of real-time action on accessible games remain unsolved. In this article, our objective is to develop an inclusive side scroller game with high real-time performance and accessibility functions for visually impaired people, and be available to play with more than one person including sighted persons.
