Using leisure gaming activities to train hearing
Abstract
The presentation will give an overview of the recently finished project called The Sound Park, where we explored possibilities for using mobile game engagement to train hearing by active listening. Within the project, several applications were developed and evaluated, for instance a music-based puzzle game which is now used among hearing-impaired students in a larger evaluation. The Sound Park was supported by The Swedish Post- and Telestyrelsen through their "Innovation for All" competition.
