[games_access] Switch glove

[Barrie Ellis]

That's really nice, Javier. Great images too. Reminded me a bit of the Peregrine (www.theperegrine.com) - but the huge advantage with yours is that it's less complicated, won't cost $150+ to get hold of, and best of all, will work with all switch interfaces. Thus, no major problem getting it working on a games console, when adapting an old-fashioned JoyPad with digital push buttons or the likes of an Ultimarc IPac.

Another thought I had, is that some people with limited hand movement (e.g. those with more severe cerebral palsy), can find it very hard to put on a glove with individual fingers. In those cases, maybe a combination of thumb ring/stylus to sweat band could do the trick too.

With your organisation, can you help people from around the world who approach you, or only Spain?

Hi all,

Here it is a switch glove that we have created as an example of a cheap and really versatile solution for switch gaming.





This is a glove with two small mesh, each in a finger, when mesh do contact is equivalent to pressing a button. This glove is just one example of what can be done, because the mesh can be placed in the most convenient place according to user needs.
