| dc.description.abstract | The lack of accessibility in digital gaming platforms remains a significant barrier to equitable user participation. To address this issue, this article presents an inclusive solution developed as a multimedia project designed to promote access to digital games for any user through the ipcb.games platform. The platform offers features that enhance accessibility, including voice-based authentication, voice-assisted registration, facial recognition, visual and auditory feedback, and a simplified interface. It also enables users to submit their own games for subsequent approval and integration. The development process followed a multimedia project methodology, structured into phases of analysis, planning, design, production, testing, and validation. The proposal was informed by a systematic review of scientific literature on digital inclusion and accessibility, complemented by a comparative analysis of existing platforms. During usability testing, the platform was evaluated by approximately 50 teachers from different educational levels, who provided highly positive feedback. Future work includes implementing voice-controlled gameplay, enabling keyboard-based navigation, re-implementing a functional eye-tracking system, and creating pedagogical groups, further strengthening the platform’s role in educational contexts. | eng |
