[games_access] Wheelchair Parkour

[Thomas Westin]

Hey

once a year I run a course in 3D game dev at Stockholm University

of course I also introduce them to game accessibility :) but without  
forcing them to implement accessibility or related things.

but, this year a couple of students made an interesting concept game  
called Wheelchair Parkour - kind of a paradox which works out pretty  
well. For those not familiar with parkour it "is an activity with the  
aim of moving from one point to another as efficiently and quickly as  
possible, using principally the abilities of the human body" (Wikipedia)

Some interesting interaction design where the mouse movement and  
buttons simulate how to control a wheelchair. Then add the parkour  
concept above and you have a very interesting mix.

Try it out for yourselves, you find the download link on this page
