“…In some cases, non-visual (e.g. auditory or haptic) and multimodal (bi-and trimodal) feedback forms demonstrate significant performance gains over visual feedback forms [14] for both Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and normally-sighted users. Some scholars even argue that haptic-only feedback is more beneficial than auditory-only feedback [6,2].…”

Very few video games have been designed or adapted to allow people with vision impairment to play. Music/rhythm games however are particularly suitable for such people as they are perfectly capable of perceiving audio signals. Guitar Hero is a popular rhythm game yet it is not accessible to the visually impaired as it relies on visual stimuli. This paper explores replacing visual stimuli with haptic stimuli as a viable strategy to make games accessible. We developed a glove that transforms visual information into haptic feedback using small pager motors attached to the tip of each finger. This allows a blind player to play Guitar Hero. Several tests have been conducted and despite minor changes to the gameplay, visually impaired players are able to play the game successfully and enjoy the challenge the game provides. The results of the study also give valuable insights on how to make mainstream games blind-accessible.

Definition of the Subject a robot have? What are the optimal ways for a robot to interact with a user? How should information be presented to the user by the robot? In this chapter, we provide an overview of assistive robotic devices with emphasis on the WRMA, discuss common methods of user interaction, and the need for an adaptive compensation framework to support potential users in regaining their functional capabilities through use of WMRA devices.
