Rock Vibe (2010)

It replaces all necessary visual cues with auditory and tactile cues. Players respond to site-specific vibrations on their bodies and at the end of gameplay, the score is vocalized by the computer’s speech synthesizer. The game tested well during development and I am currently in the process of redesigning the game engine and the electronics.
