3D Tune-In: 3D-Games for TUNing and lEarnINg About Hearing Aids
Abstract: The EU-funded (Horizon 2020 Grant Agreement No 644051) 3D Tune-In project employs a novel approach using 3D sound, visuals and gamification techniques to support people with hearing aids to understand their many features and how to calibrate them in different real world situations (e.g. at a concert, in a restaurant, on a street, at a train station, in a classroom). 3D Tune-In brings together the relevant stakeholders from traditional gaming industries (Reactify, UK; Vianet, Italy; XTeam, Italy; Nerlaska, Spain); academic institutions (Imperial College London, UK; De Montfort University, UK; the University of Nottingham, UK; University of Malaga, Spain); a large European hearing aid manufacturer (GN Hearing, Italy); and hearing Associations (Extra Care, UK; Hearing Link, UK; Action Deafness, UK; Accesibilidad y Personas Sordas, Spain and Ente Nazionale Sordi, Italy) to create 3D virtual interactive environments and videogames which will greatly improve the quality of life and level of social inclusion of individuals with hearing impairment.
