[games_access] Article: Valve: Game Accessibility Benefits Disabled, Able Alike

[Tara Tefertiller]

Hello,

I met this guy at GDC and was actually was on the phone with him last week.
We chatted about this sort of thing. He is a really interesting guy, and
very smart. And it sounds like Valve is really a great studio.

He's leading some interesting tests at Valve right now, including work where
players use eye trackers to play portal and using biofeedback to control the
AI director in Left4Dead. If you have any questions about those tests, let
me know.
