Abstract

In China, approximately 1 in every 100 individuals is visually impaired. Traditional media often fall short of conveying the complexities associated with visual impairment, and can inadvertently propagate stereotypes. Addressing this knowledge gap requires an innovative medium facilitating a deeper understanding and interaction with the visually impaired population (VIP). This study proposes an interactive, game-based learning experience designed to increase public awareness and acceptance of VIPs, known as “The Lightness Road.“ The game leverages the Experiential Transformative Game-based Learning Model, integrating experiential learning and transformative learning theories to engage users in a narrative that simulates real-life challenges faced by VIPs. User testing indicates that the game surpasses traditional media in educating about blindness awareness, improving attitudes toward VIPs, and providing an engaging and effective learning experience.
