摘要：
This paper presents a usability evaluation of a mobile gaming application (mAbES) for blind users. mAbES was evaluated with the participation of HCI specialists and experts in video gaming (Group 1) and mAbES end-users who are blind (Group 2). The instruments used by Group 1 were the audio feedback questionnaire and the usability evaluation questionnaire. It also included questions based on video games and game mechanics. For Group 2, both the audio evaluation and the O& M, tactile feedback and ease of use questionnaires were applied. Semi-structured interviews were also carried out. User perceptions and interaction behaviors identified during study and data analysis allowed to refine the methodology used for evaluating the usability of mAbES and proposed suggestions for improvements in the use of this application, as well as to make recommendations for developing video games for blind users for navigation purposes.
