Subject: [Greater-baltimore] Video Game Accessibility Study--Help Needed

Federationists:
The NFB has worked with faculty at Towson University for over a decade on
accessibility. Over the last year, we have begun working with Dr. Joyram
Chakraborty, a colleague of Dr. Jonathon Lazar's, on video game
accessibility. Dr. Chakraborty and his pupils are working on some research
to that end. A note below from Dr. Chakraborty explains the research and how
you can help.

>From Dr. Chakraborty: We are conducting an exploratory study to examine
gaming interfaces for the blind. We have recreated a 1980s console-based
game for a computer. We would like to test the game using members of the
NFB. Your valuable participation will help us understand and develop better
gaming interfaces for the blind. The entire study should take no more than
30-45 minutes. It will involve you playing our game and offering us some
feedback on your gaming experiences. Thank you for your kind assistance!

Dr. Chakraborty is willing to bring the game to you or meet at a mutually
agreeable location. If you are interested in helping, please contact Dr.
Chakraborty at jchakraborty at towson.edu<mailto:jchakraborty at towson.edu>.

Thank you in advance for your contribution to this endeavor.
