[games_access] GA SIG Meeting Tomorrow -- Vegas Conference Whitepaper

[Reid Kimball]

I am very interested in contributing to the book, speaking about my
efforts to create an example of how to close caption video games with
the Doom3[CC] project. We are currently developing some great
features; sound direction ques, colored text, animated text (shakes
during loud rumbles) and support for multiple languages.
