Abstract(in English) The spread of computers has made games enable to be played easily, but visually impaired people could not play much of those. On the other hand, there are games for the blind that have voice reading. But it is difficult for “action games” -which have real-time property- to be made enable to be played by voice reading. In this study, it is aimed for establishment of sound user interface for visually impaired people by notification sound to play action games. This paper reports the result of having subjects play the game that implemented interface supporting of the movement operation of a character in action games.
