ABSTRACT
Sonora is an interactive game that explores human voice through a playful transition between the auditory and visual worlds. Sonora is designed to elicit expressive, naturalistic human vocal sounds, and to explore the full range of capability of the human voice through playful and inclusive interaction. This work-in-progress paper describes the conception, interaction design process, technical details, and planned elaborations of the project.

Automatic speech recognition- an approach for designing inclusive games
Computer games are now a part of our modern culture. However, certain categories of people are excluded from this form of entertainment and social interaction because they are unable to use the interface of the games. The reason for this can be deficits ...
Inclusive game design: audio interface in a graphical adventure game
AM '14: Proceedings of the 9th Audio Mostly: A Conference on Interaction With SoundA lot of video games on the market are inaccessible to players with visual impairments because they rely heavily on use of graphical elements.

Ability-Based Design: Concept, Principles and Examples
Current approaches to accessible computing share a common goal of making technology accessible to users with disabilities. Perhaps because of this goal, they may also share a tendency to centralize disability rather than ability. We present a refinement ...
