Audio-based Maze Game Design and Evaluation

Usability TestingQualitative AnalysisPrototyping

An audio-based game design and development using usability testing, semi-structured interview, user journey map and digitial prototyping.

Led by our interest in video games geared towards individuals with visual impairment and blindness, we designed and developed a maze game, Lost in Spaze, that is accessible to individuals of varying visual abilities. We used a paper mock-up and usability testing to test our game as a first step. Then we developed Lost in Spaze in Unity 2019 using C#. Usability testing was applied to iterate the game prototypes. Our game Lost in Spaze was selected as a finalist (top five in each category) in CHI 2020 Student Game Competition.
