[games_access] GAIM framework

[John Bannick]

Hi Thomas,

My name is John Bannick.

I build computer games that are accessible to gamers who are blind, 
visually impaired, color blind, deaf, or motion impaired.
I've been building commercial software for 30 years, specializing in user 
interfaces.

Your forthcoming research is very much consistent with my own work making 
user interfaces more accessible.

If you are interested, I'd be happy to participate in your study.

Our company Web site is www.7128.com and a couple of newspaper articles 
about our people are at http://www.7128.com/news/resourcesnews.html.

BTW. You might contact Veli-Pekka Tätilä (vtatila at mail.student.oulu.fi) a 
Computer Science PhD candidate in Finland.
He is a gamer and has some well thought out and articulated ideas about 
keyboard accessibility.

Later,

John Bannick
CTO
7-128 Software
