"QUEZAIDA & MY STRINGS TRIO played this great work by the composer Max Richter during our concert named UTOPIA. This varied concert program is a sampling of all our instruments and their players. Musicians and audience, everyone lives this afternoon in Utopia: a whole that appeals to the imagination where people live together in equality. Quezaida has a very serious progressive condition. She uses our FREE software EyePlayChords and got the whole room entranced. She plays the Adaptive Game controller from Microsoft. Thanks to our FREE software, EVERYONE can make music. Your eyes, your ha ..read more

XQgaming.com have listed a range of spring replacements for thumbstick modules. They cover a 10g to 200g range for Xbox One, Xbox S/X, PS4 and PS5. And PS4 should fit (normally) in a Nintendo Switch Pro controller.  See more at the OneSwitch Lightweight gaming area. See the Celtic Magic Feather for the lightest pressure physical joystick there is.  ..read more

NMA Gaming have posted an illuminating interview with Akaki Kuumeri, a Finn living in Japan, known as being one of the top 3D printing accessible gaming gurus.  What tallies with my thoughts on one handed controllers, is that 3D printed add-ons are a bit clumsy in use... but still an ingenious and desirable stop-gap. They're affordable (free in some instances via TheControllerProject.com) and available. I do still hope that a Microsoft, HORI, ASCII or some other company will look at building something current gereration, Dragonplus RPG controller inspired, that doesn't need wrist movem ..read more

"This game worked fantastic with Tobii 4C eye tracker! I use Mill Mouse software to move the mouse pointer/camera movements smoothly (turn down the pointer speed in the software!) and Xcessity software Project Iris for eye gaze activated interaction boxes that toggle W/Up for Walk Forward and push I-J-K-L keys and a few more on the keyboard. By default you can move the camera by keyboard keys if you prefer doing everything with Project Iris , but steering left/right smoothly with the eye tracking mouse is something I recommend trying out.

Great to see the Switch Guitar above, inspired by the My Breath My Music adapted Guitar project and adapted Guitar lessons. This device straps onto the neck of a Guitar and allows for a switch to hold different finger positions on the fretboard. Then the player just need strum to play the correct chord / notes. See also Robert's Engineering (who made the Switch Guitar and also some accessible gaming devices) and my posts on the Robotar.  ..read more

A little custom job to make a 4-switch joystick for chin use. The lever effect from top of the shaft to the base makes this quite low-pressure to activate. Some more custom stick work to follow with some brilliant 3D prints by Shaz Hossain ..read more

Yesterday saw the GAconf 22 awards event take place. It's a celebration of some of the people and efforts in game accessibility and acknowledgement of how far things have travelled. There were a range of ways of watching which I really liked. Audio Description if you wanted/needed it. BSL (British Sign Language) and ASL (North American Sign Language) signing options too. Steve and Tara are very enthusiastic friendly hosts, with some excellent guest presenters. The presentation gets more and more professional year on year from GAconf. I was especially taken aback from the sec ..read more
