Flying a Quadcopter—An Audio Entertainment and Training Game for the Visually Impaired

With the increase in number of sensory substitution devices, engineering community is confronted with a new challenge: ensuring user training safe virtual environments before using these devices real-life situations. We developed game that uses an original sonification model, which, although not specific to certain device, can be effective means for orientation space based on audio stimuli. Thus, only entertainment visually impaired (VI) people but also one use assistive devices. The design and are contributions by authors. which crucial dedicated people, described detail, both at implementation level. For better immersion, special sound techniques have been used, such as ambisonic recordings impulse response (IR) recordings. has improved gradually, especially users’ feedback.
