Hello,

A Spanish group of students is participating in a competition created by Honda, and the winer will earn 25,000€ to develop their project.
The one which interest us is called GSS (Game Sensitive System), and consists of a specially designed controller which plugs into pc or console, and, with the needed technology it sends the necessary feedback for us to play. It may have some audio responses, tactyle, ect.
The game companies could  apply the designed technology to their games, so we could play some mainstrean games.

But for this they need first to be one of the finalist projects, and that's why I am here, to ask for your votes. This web page is in Spanish, all you have to do is open it and search for a link called "bt_sumate_res.jpg. Once you click on it a form will appear. The fields are Name,  2 surnames (some countries have them), email address and capcha (without audio solution, web vissum or sighted help needed)
Then you have to check the "I accept the bla bla bla..." boxes and hit "BT_enviar" You will receive an email to confirm your vote, simply click the first link and that's it.

Sorry for the page difficulties, it seems that Honda cares for the disabled half-ways, tongue.
The deadline for the votes is august 31st.


Thank you for reading this, and I hope you find it interesting enough to vote.

Sorry for my english :D

Hi,
It could potentially b immersive, although I very much doubt the big companies will jump on this bandwaggon. If they won't even do something as simple as including eSpeak and talking menus which wold technically be free or won't cost them very much at all, then why would they include a controler that only a few people will use?

Hi Aaron,
I understand this in such a way that the controller could potentially become a very well marketed and propagated mainstream project if they won this competition. I might be wrong though.

I won't be using this account any more or participating in the forum activity through other childish means like creating an alternate account. I've asked for the account to be removed but I'm not sure if that's actually technically possible here. Just writing this for people to know that I won't be replying, posting new topics or checking private messages until the account is potentially removed.

Hi.
Seems very interesting, but the companies should have a reason to implement the game controler in their games. smile

Best regards SLJ.

A reason? Implementing the technology would have no cost for the companies, but profit, since more people, including blind people, would purchase their products.
Will this happen? I don't know, probably very slowly, or maybe it won't, but I think we have to try, it has no cost for us to help them. I hope they win this competition.

Sorry for my english :D

I'll say that would be totally epic if they winn! then i hope they'll sell this thing to all countries.

Best regards SLJ.

Hi,
Definitely, although it'd depend on the price of the controller.
