Abstract
The Tactile Radar is an input device that, connected to a computer runs a tactile-game designed for visually disabled people. The aim of the study was to experience this tactile game with visually impaired people. The study was conducted with nine congenital blind people, using complementary methods of first and third person: the debriefing interview and the quasi-experimental design. The device seems capable of eliciting a powerful immersive experience. The results indicate that the Tactile Radar is suitable for the creation of computer games specifically tailored for visually disabled people.
