Quido

Adventure of a Hot Air Balloon

Czech / English

Quido is a multimodal game that provides haptic feedback to the player. Changes of temperature help navigate the player to the target of the game. Changes of pressure warn of dangerous objects in player's vicinity.

Quido was created as a part of NaviTerier, a system that helps blind people to navigate in unknown environments. The game demonstrates the use of touch (heat and pressure) for delivering information that is vital for navigation and orientation in space.
