Excerpt from AFB Access World, Conference Report, CSUN 2008, by Deborah
Kendrick
"...A bit of just plain fun is always welcome, and one of the highlights
of the conference for me was playing a lively game of Snakes and Ladders at
the Touch Graphics booth just before the conference closed on March 15. The
fast-paced game of chance for all ages, which combines a tactile playing board
with audio cues, is completely interactive. Progress around the board is accompanied
by lively sound effects. Encountering a ladder means multiple moves in one turn
and landing on a fellow player triggers the computer sound of that player being
kicked down the stairs. When so many pieces of assistive technology are focused
on work and productivity, it was a breath of fresh air to encounter one that
was purely entertainment with no higher purpose."
