Abstract EN
Wheelchair users have been benefited from Natural User Interface (NUI) games because gesture-based applications can help motor disabled people.
Previous work showed that considering values and the social context of these users improve game enjoyment.
However, the literature lacks on studies that address games as a tool to approach personal values of people with physical disabilities.
Participatory design encompasses techniques that allow absorbing and reflecting values of users into technologies.
We developed a gesture-based game using participatory design addressing values of wheelchair users.
To manage the development of our game, we permitted creativity and flexibility to the designers.
Our design is aligned to the Game SCRUM and make use of concepts from the Creative Process.
The products of each stage of the design that we applied are both a gesture-based game and its evaluation.
We tested the enjoyment (immersion, difficult while playing, etc.) of users for the game that we developed thought game-based quantitative and qualitative analyses.
Our results indicate that the game was able to provide a satisfactory entertaining experience to the users.
