A Second First
5 May, 2008 @ 3:16 pm by Cara Last week sees another first, as, in addition to the Mac release of Audio Quake, the very first 3D level Description Language (LDL) has also been released through the AGRIP project, for Mac. This add-on for Audio Quake allows a VI player to conceptualize and design their own fully 3 dimensional environments for the game.
As with AQ itself, LDL is also a proof of concept that what was thought to be a primarily visual medium can be accurately and meaningfully worked with by the visually impaired, as well as being a means for AGRIP to further study and understand how best to present / represent visual data to a VI user.
So who better to help in this process? -The users themselves. If you’d like to find out more, please do visit the home of the AGRIP project at:
Happy Gaming and have a terrific day!…
BlindGeek remarked:
I’ll be honest, up until this point I haven’t given Quake (audio or otherwise) the time of day, but in an effort to support accessible gaming for the Mac, I just might have to reconsider that position. In-ter-est-ing.
