Description

AudioGames are games which rely on audio-only output in response to user input. These games have proliferated in the community of blind individuals for a better part of the early 21st century. AudioGames have entertained kids and adults alike. But how can audio-based games be leveraged to help develop accessible websites? This talk will take an informal approach to informing attendees about what AudioGames are, and how certain concepts found in these games can be employed to realize complex website features.
