A Sudoku Game for People with Motor Impairments (0709.1056v3)

Abstract: Computer games are motivating and beneficial in learning different educational skills. Most people use their fingers, hands, and arms when using a computer game. However, for people with motor disabilities this task can be a barrier. We present a new Sudoku game for people whose motion is impaired, called Sudoku 4ALL. With this special interface a person can control the game with the voice or with a single switch. Our research aims to cautiously search for issues that might be appropriate for computational support and to build enabling technologies that increase individuals' functional independence in a game environment.
