Abstract

Collaborative Crossover Applications (CCA) extends Crossover Applications to highly mobile environments. Crossover Applications were conceived in [1] as an area of research for developing new media applications for the visually impaired community with the goal that they be simultaneously interesting for the sighted population as well. The end result is to create a useful interaction between the sighted and the blind/visually impaired worlds. This was demonstrated in two Crossover Applications™ Symposiums at UCCS in 2009 and 2010. A Complex Systems working group (GMI Consortium) was established as a weekly brainstorming group to further our goals. Outgrowth of community partnership resulted in projects and thesis work by students in such diverse areas as recycled braille devices, musical-canvas, and android-phone based game applications.
