The document proposes creating mixed-reality mobile games that can be played by people using mobility scooters. The games would be inclusive, entertaining, and family-centered. They would use both virtual and real-world spaces. Mobility scooters provide assisted mobility but can travel longer distances than walking. Potential game ideas include treasure hunting, hide and seek, and games where players collect points over time by locating people or treasures from clues.
