AudiOdyssey for the Blind
Written by admin on June 4th, 2008 in devices and gadgets.
Are video games just for those who can see? Apparently not, as MIT’s Gambit Game Lab is currently working on AudiOdyssey, a title on the Nintendo Wii that will target the visually impaired. Needless to say, this is an audio-based title where you play according to sound, mimicking a DJ who is trying to conjure a catchy beat to keep the crowd moving. The whole idea is to use the Wiimote, moving it around to get a decent rhythm going then adding on more layers for an aural crescendo. Since the Wii isn’t exactly too common yet, this game is also compatible with a regular keyboard.
