There are not many mobile games developed for players with special needs, such as people with visual impairment. This research was conducted to develop alternative interaction design on mobile device that can be used by people with visual impairment. The development of alternative design was conducted by using participatory design approach. The participatory design approach is considered to be able to create interaction design which is appropriate with the participants wish. This study involved 10 visual impairment people as participants in the participatory design process.
