The reception was good. I think it is easier to "sell" the concept of
games on an HCI / Accessibility related conference than it is to sell
accessibility on a games related conference.

They had a 3 paper games track of which our paper was one. Last year
they had a games track as well with a very interesting paper on a
blind accessible version of dance dance revolution called finger
dance. There were two other games presentations, a one switch sudoku
and power up the game.

Cheers Eelke
