Developing Effective Research Methodologies for the Evaluation of Player Experiences of Gamers with Disabilities

虽然视频游戏非常受欢迎，并且视频游戏对健康产生了积极的影响，但这些游戏仍然经常无法为大量残疾玩家所用。了解这些玩家面临的用户体验和可用性问题通常在逻辑上具有挑战性;这些玩家通常很难招募，并且由大型工作室进行的传统实验室研究环境通常难以适应玩家的特定残疾。该项目旨在通过调查可用于研究残疾玩家用户体验的替代研究方法来解决这些问题，包括调查，日记研究和远程游戏测试。

While video gaming is very popular and video game play has been associated with a positive impact on well being, these games are still often inaccessible for a large number of gamers with disabilities. Understanding the user experience, and usability issues that these players face is often logistically challenging; these players are often difficult to recruit, and the environment of the traditional lab based research conducted by larger studios often struggles to accomodate the players specific disabilities. This project aims to address these issues by investigating alternative research methods that can be deployed to examine the user experiences of gamers with disabilities, including surveys, diary studies, and remote playtesting.
