UCLA professor Dr. Donald B. Kohn has spent 40 years trying to bring gene therapy to people with adenosine deaminase deficiency (ADA-SCID), a severe combined immunodeficiency disease. He and his colleagues developed a specific gene therapy, which has been tried and tested, and a forthcoming paper in the New England Journal of Medicine shows that the gene therapy worked, Dr. Kohn said. Now, he needs to convince drug companies to make the drug available — and insurance companies to approve it.

“Darkgame” is a long-term research and game development project created by Eddo Stern, professor and chair of the Department of Design Media Arts. Designed in collaboration with the Los Angeles Braille Institute, the project investigates how games can be built for — and enriched by — players with diverse sensory experiences.
“I set out to make a game that could be experienced by blind people, deaf people, and people who can both see and hear,” Stern said. “The game is aware of those differences and is designed around them. For example, you might choose to play as a character who can’t see, which reduces your resources in one area but gives you more points to enhance other abilities. Similarly, someone with full vision and hearing might also choose that path — say, to gain enhanced speed or heightened hearing.”
Supported by a $25,000 transdisciplinary seed grant, Darkgame demonstrates how research in the arts can expand accessibility, advance inclusive design and reimagine what interactive media can be.
