Today, we see the rise of games that are being adapted for people with different kinds of disabilities such as visual impairment, blind and ADHD. This is what the thesis investigates. The thesis will discuss how people with different disabilities play larp and digital games. The focus will be on computer games. The thesis aims to gain an understanding of how larps and digital games work from the perspective of their own experiences. The thesis will also try to combine augmented reality larp or digital larp with digital games and see how these forms overlap.
