I don't know of any books or articles to recommend, but I would suggest playing some of the better made audio games so you can get a first hand experience of what they are like.
You should try:
Papa Sangre 2, Papa Sangre and The NightJar.
All 3 of those are first person action games, made by the same company.
I've also heard BlindSide is quite immersive, though haven't yet tried it myself.
Audio Defence is another people recommend.
All those are for the iPhone.
Swamp, by Aprone, which is an online zombie themed first person shooter.
The single player version is free. Learn to play it with your eyes closed as blind players do.
It runs on Windows.
The best 2D platformer is called Bokurano Daibouken 3 or BK3 for short.
Unfortunately it is in Japanese.
There is a way to setup the NVDA screen reader with the Google translate service to play Japanese games in English, but I expect it is more effort than you'd like to put in.
I still mention it though, because it is by far the best in its genre.
The best top down (Zelda like) action RPG is ShadowRine, which is also in Japanese and takes a bit more effort than BK3 to get running.
Both of those Japanese games have amazing game mechanics and audio queues, not to mention being very well polished and having many hours of game play.
You could also try Airik the Cleric for a top down action RPG experience, though again, ShadowRine is better in my opinion.
I do remember someone on this forum posted an academic paper they'd written on a similar subject.
I'll have a look for it.
Also, you spelled Dissertation incorrectly in your thread subject.
