RAISE - Remote Accessibility for Individuals' Social Engagement Details
We are a team of UX designers and developers building a web application game, fifty/fifty, for use by SEASPAR to enhance their Game Night program. The app is a "this or that?" game where players can join their friends in choosing between two options to determine the crowd favorite. It intends to provide SEASPAR participants with the confidence to feel more independent in an engaging, accessible remote experience. Expected launch December 2020.CONTEXTDue to the COVID-19 pandemic, SEASPAR, a non-profit Chicagoland organization that provides recreational programming for over 1,100 individuals with disabilities, has transitioned from in person to virtual programs. According to SEASPAR recreation coordinators, it has been challenging to rebuild activities in a virtual modality. Major challenges encompass difficulty withoperating remote technologies used in the programming, participants struggling to stay engaged during online activities, and recreation coordinators being unable to remotely assist participants with activity setup.
