Hello there! My name is Luke. I’m a white male with glasses, a bushy beard and usually dressed in something a bit weird and wonderful. I use he/him pronouns.
I am a second year PhD at UWE Bristol that is delving into game accessibility from a sound perspective in virtual game environments.
I am super interested in the barriers that exist currently in video games and how might we begin to explore making them accessible using 'sonic interaction', a term
meaning the way that human beings engage with, perceive, and use sound to do things like play video games.
In terms of game accessibility I can rely on my own experience for some experience with gameplay barriers. I am red/green colour-deficient and neurodivergent,
both of which have affected the way I approach and enjoy games.
However, we're a diverse bunch, us human beings. We have a diverse range of abilities that make different types of gameplay accessible or inaccessible to us.
As such, I’d love to talk to you about your experiences of accessibility in gaming, and furthermore how sonic interaction might aid or inhibit making games more accessible.
