SUMMARY:Electronics Arts Accessible Gaming Switch Buildathon
DESCRIPTION:Gamers with disabilities can find it difficult to use standard gaming controllers.聽Microsoft鈥檚 Xbox Adaptive Controller (opens in a new window)聽is a device that allows gamers with disabilities to remap the buttons on a standard controller. They can also connect switches or other input devices that better match their body shape\, strength\, dexterity\, and overall abilities. \nBoth the 今日吃瓜51 and Electronic Arts (EA) agree gaming should be accessible to everyone! \nOn July 25th\, our Makers Making Change team will be at EA鈥榮 Burnaby Headquarters\, where 150 EA staff members will learn how 3D printing and electronics skills can be used to build a variety of accessibility switches. \nTogether\, we will build the following switches\, some of which are already part of the聽Makers Making Change Project Library (opens in a new window): Raindrop Switch\, AT Makers Keyswitch\, Resistive Touch Switch\, Light Touch Switch\, Compact Switch. These switches come in a variety of sizes and types and can be plugged into Microsoft鈥檚 Xbox Adaptive Controller to help gamers of all abilities play video games. \nHere is a video from Microsoft with some young gamers who have benefited from this access: \n锘匡豢
