ABSTRACT
Gaming accessibility research for blind or low vision (BLV) communities largely focuses on digital games. There is a need for designers to understand BLV's experience with tabletop games that involve the player's physical interaction. In this study, we investigate BLV individuals’ experience with the accessibility of tabletop games. We conducted semi-structured interviews with 15 BLV participants and found four themes that uncovered participants’ tabletop gaming experiences: (1) properties of inaccessible games, (2) outcomes of inaccessible games, (3) properties of accessible games, and (4) outcomes of accessible games. Our findings demonstrate a richness and variety in BLV individuals’ tabletop gaming experiences. By providing discussions on the state of tabletop game interactivity and design recommendations, our work assists the creation of accessible tangible games that make use of digital information and physical forms by affording designers the opportunity to understand how inaccessible interactions in tabletop games affect BLV populations.

Inclusive Adaptation of Existing Board Games for Gamers with and without Visual Impairments using a Spatial Augmented Reality Framework for Touch Detection and Audio Feedback
ISSBoard games allow us to share collective entertainment experiences. They entertain because of the interactions between players, physical manipulation of tokens and decision making. Unfortunately, most board games exclude people with visual impairments as ...
Game accessibility: Adaptation of a digital escape room game to improve spatial cognitive skills on blind people
SVR '23: Proceedings of the 25th Symposium on Virtual and Augmented RealityThere is a concept called "Universal Accessible Games" that promotes the creation of games for everybody. To be more precise, games should be accessible for all gamers through inclusive design. Therefore, this work has the intention to adapt an Escape-...
Investigating touchscreen accessibility for people with visual impairments
NordiCHI '08: Proceedings of the 5th Nordic conference on Human-computer interaction: building bridgesTouchscreen computing devices such as the iPhone are becoming more common. However this technology is largely inaccessible to people with visual impairments. We present the results of a requirements capture study that illustrates the problems with ...
