“I felt I could provide a solution and hope to produce a marketable version in the future, which will make cribbage available to those who may otherwise not be able to play.”
“Over the past few years, I noticed that some of my older relatives were having trouble seeing the very small parts and markings on the cribbage board,” notes Andrew. With large-character, backlit LCD displays and large, colour-coded buttons, each player uses a handheld, wireless controller to enter points scored throughout the game and to view the current score of each player. Andrew’s project, titled Cribbage for People with Reduced Vision, utilizes technology to replace a traditional wooden cribbage board with a combination of electronic devices which aids players with reduced vision capabilities.
