- Title – The New Game
After some time of thinking about my project, I realized that it can be used by all the people in different ways. But for now, I want to realize it from just one perspective – the most important one. Now, I want to propose to make a game for disabled people. I want to try to shift the game on the computer to the phisical world. It will make every game more interactive. For start I want to use The Flappy Bird game. In original you need to tap the keyboard or your phone screen, but I want people to use their own parts of body. It will provide people a small workout while they are playing games. Many researchers are trying to make lives of disabled people easier by inventing some things, but who is thinking of their fun?These people are ordinary people just with some special needs, so they also need to have fun and play games. All games should be adapted for these people.
First for these project I made the research and tried to figure out future steps. Next I will try to edit the code of The Flappy Bird. Then I will solder the motion sensor and try to use it. I wil merge two codes together. Later, if we are required to use digital fabrication, I will made a design or find some similar examples in the internet of phisicall interpretetion in the world. I want to put this sensor into the device and I want this device to be the helmet or something which can be attached to the head. person can move the head and it will make the bird jumping. The emphasising of the special need of my audience will be made through the design and from the original idea of the project. I will made all of these as soon as possible.
I had not much ideas when I was researching what to make for these. Then, my friend was listening her Application Lab class next to me. They had a topic about making adjustments for disabled people and I created my idea. It is meaningful for me, because one of my closest people is disabled. Also, this project in advance can lead not just to sreate games with this mechanism, but to make they using the computer easier. My technology is simple, but it later can be transformed into device which can help to control the laptop with the use of just head or finger or any other part of body. It will help these people to work, to create art, to play and have fun. It is interactive, because here the computing world and phisical world connect with each other. Also, this project conveys the idea which will make other people think of it. This game can be adapted for two users or other game can be changhed by the same way.
