Although you might expect music based games like Guitar Hero to appeal to visually impaired gamers, they do tend to rely on on-screen cues which makes following a tune difficult/impossible.
Open-source Guitar Hero clone Frets On Fire lends itself to experimentation, so Eelke Folmer – a usability Professor at Nevada Reno University – has mashed it up with a wireless controller and a ‘haptic feedback’ glove to create the first Guitar Hero clone designed to be played by touch and sound alone.
Sure, it’s a niche idea now, but I wouldn’t bet against Mad Catz giving it a whirl if they see a buck or two to be made.
