Rohit GuptaAfter discussion with teachers and experts and evaluating the merits and demerits of each ideas, we decided to build mock-ups for the selected ones. These mockups will be presented to teachers and students under their supervision for feedback. A chosen concept will be worked upon later.
1. Puzzle Duck -> Mu Duck
2. Tasker
3. Braille Box -> Braille Hop
The video of very early stage prototype was as follows:
Choosing the final concept
We presented these mock-ups to the experts for a feedback. The suggestions were:
| Concept | Positives | Negative |
| Mu Duck | Easy for kids to relate to as it is similar to LEGO. | Not Novel Attendees need to take care of blocks No semantic match Costly to make Only a small number of kids can play |
| Tasker | Involves physical activities Has a social aspect Helpful in developing communication | Difficult to explain the rules of the game every time to the students Constant need of a supervisor No exact goal or wining strategy No Feedback |
| Braille Hop | Provides both learning and testing Novel Use of texture and bright colours Allows physical play | Difficult to assemble Manufacturing Lack of referencing that helps in orientation Less feedback |
Hence, we choose to work on Braille Hop. Our aim is to develop open source games for people affected by disabilities. Hence, in proper spirit , we have open sourced our work to allow maximum reach. We hope many makerspaces /makers would contribute to this by suggesting changes and reproducing the design and installing it the schools.
We will now discuss the project as a build log.
