摘要

電腦遊戲種類與型態隨著科技進步有更多的變化提供玩家選擇。玩家除了重視遊戲的操作，亦重視與其他玩家的互動。互動是遊戲的一部分，從傳統的人與人之間的互動，到人機之間的互動，進而因網路達到世界一家的互動。為身心障礙者設計的電腦遊戲也需要考慮此要素，才能促使身心障礙者更能融入遊戲之中。
本研究將針對視覺障礙者，探討純聽覺遊戲互動之可能性，並採用混合一般使用者與視覺障礙者實驗方式，對純聽覺遊戲進行差異性比較。結果顯示純聽覺遊戲可提高視覺障礙者的遊戲互動品質，一般使用者與視覺障礙者交互使用時，亦可得到較高的娛樂性。相信藉由本研究的設計，能增加一般大眾對視覺障礙者的了解與重視，並拉近彼此之間的距離。

With the development of information technology, computer games have provided various genres for the players to choose. Nowadays, the game players not only care how to operate a game, but also care the interaction with other players. Interaction is an intrinsic part of a game. The ways of interaction had also been transferred from interaction between players, interaction between human and machines, to interaction between players over the internet. Similarly, the interaction of computer game for the handicapped should be seriously considered so that such players can also immerse in the game playing.
In this study, the usability of audio-only computer games for the visually impaired was discussed. Experiments with mixing the visually impaired and general players were conducted to compare the differences. Our results showed that audio-only game could enhance the quality of interactivity for the visually impaired.
Playing games with mixing the visually impaired and general users could also get a higher entertainment. It is believed that this study would promote the understanding of general people to the visually impaired, and make them closer to each other.
