Accessibility Revolution! | Gaming's New Frontier
summary
SpecialEffect shows that simple design choices plus existing phone and controller features let people with severe motor impairments actually play mainstream games. They port free Eye Gaze Games to Unity and mobile, support eye trackers, joysticks, switches, adaptive controllers and touch, add modes like precise vs classic, arrow-based movement to replace swipes, switch scanning and automatic actions to avoid the Midas gaze. A lifelong loan library and dev resources (DevKit, Game Access Info) exist and users report the setups working and life changing.
