A Unity framework and custom games — including Doom — for a haptic game console designed for blind players.

At the HCI chair at HPI we developed a Unity framework and custom games for a haptic game console for blind players, including a fully playable Doom port.

The work combined low-level interaction engineering, game feel without vision, and frameworks other researchers could build on — research software with unusually high craft requirements.
