Abstract

This is a short position paper which invites to put game accessibility on the agenda of accessibility and assistive technology research. Games are important for social inclusion and concepts of game interfaces enter into standard HCI and web interfaces. This makes game accessibility subject to standard software and web accessibility and asks for according R&D activities. New tools and interfaces have to be developed to bring games accessibility into the mainstream games.
