Video games’ new frontier: The visually impaired

Article at CNN about an accessible music game out of MIT. Sounds a bit like Guitar Hero. Gotta try it out.

I was looking for games for the eldery. I tried to bring in handheld games for them but they just couldn’t see them. So, no interest became of it. Although, the reason I wanted to bless them with games is because one of my residents love to watch me chart on the Kiosk, which is a computer for touch charting daily living for each resident. Is there any card games on video or others which are out there for them.

My mother has macular degeneration , but can still play games on the computer. I’m searching for any computer card games with enlarged card numbers so she doesn’t have to hold a magnifying glass to the computer screen while playing. If you know of any, I would be very interested in learning how to obtain them.

there are some magnifying devices for the Nintendo DS, they just clip on the side.
