Audiogames without language A project for making
a pleasant first contact between accessible
audio software and the blind beginner user

how blind people of all nationalities can easily
interact with new software ?
the number of spoken languages is evaluated at
more than six thousand eight hundred (6800),

the audiogame Pipe 2 Blast Chamber is very
interesting but necessitates a lot of reading
to understand how to play it

Experiments with multimedia may provide clues for
non linguistic communication

A lot of multimedia experiments are easy to use
musical toys with pre-selected sounds

Sometimes these musical toys have linguistic
instructions for use and sometimes not

More often, experiments lie with movements of the
mouse

This interactivity depends on exploration of
zones

This can be extremely minimal visually

Sometimes gestures are directly used for musical
production

Another experiment uses musical interaction by
exploration of areas, by gesture and by clicks,
without linguistic communication

According to these examples, basic interactions
dont need instructions for users
these experiments are toys. Videogames or
Audiogames are no longer toys but games
15

Instructions for users are given before the game
starts

Instructions this time included in the first step
of the game

Complex games, offer training levels for
progressively assimilating interactive skills

2003)

there is a paradox. The number of instructions
does not depend on the degree of complexity of
the game
?

simple interactions dont need instructions
the understanding of simple interactivity may be
combined
it should be possible to develop audiogames
without linguistic communication

For this to work, games should also be toys

A game and also a toy

The first contact between a player and his
interface may be as a call for interaction from
the game
23

After this first interaction, players must be
encouraged to continue

The third contact could be a different feed back
to induce the search for more appropriate
behaviour

It seems to be realistic to continue the learning
process leading toward different kinds of games
like side scrolled, shoot them up, adventure or
rhythm games
