[Robert Florio]

Welcome Amit it's a pleasure to have someone with your experience involved
in this group.  Whenever we share together also check out
www.game-accessibility.com <http://www.game-accessibility.com/>  a few of us
including myself, gamers with physical impairments forum, moderate the
different forums for game accessibility.  I think what would be great to
learn from you is the techniques and technologies used to help people with
the game accessibility in Long Island.  Thanks for joining.  Feel free to
check out my web site and my artwork and efforts for game accessibility.  

 

Myself 24 years old living in Maryland United States a quadriplegic from my

Hello, thank you for having me on the list. My name is Amit Pitaru, I'm a
game/toy designer and also a part-time educator at New York University. I
also teach art at Cooper Union, and occasionally exhibit my work
(http://pitaru.com <http://pitaru.com/>  and http://insertsilence.com
<http://insertsilence.com/> )

 

I learned about the SIG while working on a chapter for a book on games that
is commissioned by the MacArthur foundation. The chapter is based on a two
year project with a special-needs school in Long Island, where I devised
hardware and software for gaming accessibility. I hope to tell you more
about it as we chat along.

 

So again, thank you for having me, I think I finally found a good home-base
to learn and share my thoughts.

 

Cheerio

Amit Pitaru
