[IGDA Mobile-SIG List] Mobile games for people with hearingproblems?

[Harri Lehtimäki]

Hi Jorge

I should have formulated my question differently. Sounds are seldom in an important role in mobile games, so that's not really an issue. But my customer is a foundation that helps deaf people, especially children. They would like to have a mobile game but they are somewhat worried about usability issues. That's why I wanted to play safe and find out if I could get any tips from here. We already have some ideas for a game that teaches sign language, and it would also be nice to know if such games already exist. 

Cheers, 
Harri

  Hi Harri,

  No, not really. But most mobile games have little sound, so people with hearing problems usually have zero handicap. In fact, I never saw or played a mobile game which based its gameplay around the sound.

  What do you mean by a game for people with hearing problems? (a game for the blind would be quite unique, but I don't know what great difference could a hearing problem bring to the design of a game)

  Cheers,

  Jorge.
