Movement-Based Video Games Designed for Kids with Disabilities
From: Rehab Management - 05/09/2016

A group of computer scientists have developed three new movement-based
computer games resulting from sessions working with children at a special
needs school.

The three games are a downhill skiing game called Speed Slope; a robot boxing
game called Rumble Robots; and an experienced adventure game called Rainbow
Journey.

The games work with any type of wheelchair and use wheelchair movements to
control their aspects. For example, left and right wheelchair movement
translates to slaloming in the skiing game, and forward and backward movement
changes the pace.

The basic version of each game tracks wheelchair movement through body
position, while the extended version is marker-based if the user’s ability to
move is limited.
