Abstract
Recreational activities have an effect of improving the quality of life, but the recreational activities that visually-impaired people can enjoy are quite limited. “Passive” recreational activities that one can enjoy by reading, watching, or hearing (in particular those that visually-impaired people can enjoy) have increased through the development of synthesized voices. However, there are still only a few recreational activities such as sports and games that they can proactively participate in and enjoy. Videogames are one of such “active” recreational activities popular among visually-impaired people, however, interviews revealed that it requires a huge amount of effort for them to enjoy videogames. In the present study we developed a game that visually-impaired people could also actively enjoy.
