[games_access] Regarding Switches

[Sandra Uhling]

Hi,

I learnt that it is wrong to think in this way:
One Switch  = One Switch Input = One Switch Gameplay

With AT we can have also this:
One Switch = One Switch Input + AT = complex gameplay

The big question is: 
When can we use what? 

* Difficulty (using AT needs training)
* Availability (AT can cost LOTS of money)

And then the next question is:
How do we realize it?

****************************************
Notes:

It would be awesome when MS could implement the ScanMouse into Windows.
But I am wondering what will happen when a program uses also the GPU?

One Switch Gameplay:
This does not mean that the input is very easy, it can be complex too.
AND it is fun!


Best regards,
Sandra

In a nutshell, switches are just alternate input devices that can emulate a
mouse or keyboard click on a computer - nothing more.  No special commands
or signals come from them.  As a developer, if you can make a game that
works just with the spacebar (for example), you've got a game that can work
with a switch.

	Is there a website with reviews of switches to make games more
accessible?
	 
	Switches are often referred to, but Is there a informative,
reasonably information packed site about switches that can act as a good
introduction to switches?
