Platform for audiogames creation: an enactive interfaces based solution

Abstract

This paper presents the major advances achieved in the first phase of the thesis project named “Platform for audiogames creation: an enactive interfaces based solution”, elaborated for the Electronics mention Engineering PhD of Universidad Tecnológica Nacional, Facultad Regional Córdoba. This projects aims to contribute on assistive and inclusion technologies knowledge, particularly to those that help visual impaired people. For this purpose investigation and development of an integrated soft-hardware + different applications (audiogames) solution is proposed. Platform design is guided by novel embodied cognition theories and enactive type of human machine interfaces. Inclusive and technologically mediated playing area will be developed for entertainment, spatial audition abilities training and integration of sighted and visual impaired people.
