[games_access] First call: GA-SIG DVD 2010

[Barrie Ellis]

Haven't looked too hard at the video, but I agree, muscle switches have been 
used for ages to control technology. I know Atari's prototype work on the 
Mind Link to play the likes of Breakout used three muscle sensors:

And people have been using such technology to enable disabled gamers for 
many years - this from a quick look -

I'd be surprised if stuff like this doesn't date back to the 1960's for 
controlling other devices. Perhaps they are doing something new that I've 
not spotted?
