[games_access] Looking for One Switch Games thoughts...

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi Tim,

I would love to have more information about different types of one switch
interaction.
E.g.:

* One Switch Game (interaction of the game is limited)
* One Switch with Switch XS and control with onscreen keyboard (reduction of
interaction only small?)
  http://www.assistiveware.com/switchaccess.php
* One Switch with ScanMouse and control over the whole screen (reduction of
interaction only small?)

Best regards,
Sandra

Betreff: [games_access] Looking for One Switch Games thoughts...

I'm giving a presentation on one switch games at Games 4 Health in May, and
wanted to ping the list for thoughts, ideas, resources, etc. on this broad
topic.   

For example http://www.oneswitch.org.uk/ is a fantastic resource and one I'm
pretty familiar with.  Any other suggestions, including any "not made for
one switch but playable as one switch" commercial games?  

The same goes for resources and ideas for one switch games created without
accessibility in mind.  The Gamma 4 one button competition for GDC 2010 was
a good example of this.  I talked with some of the developers at GDC, and
was sort of surprised to find out some of them had no idea that one switch
interactions were viewable from the accessibility point of view.  I was
pleased that when I mentioned  accessibility and one switch design was a
whole "culture" out there already, a few developers had those proverbial
lightbulbs go off in their minds.
