Quite a leap considering that only just over a year ago the idea of OS-level switch support was still a bit of a crazy dream. In case anyone hasn't been following accessibility on mobile, it has become a bit of an arms race, trying to trump each other to be the most accessible. It's not just Apple Vs Google either, the various flavours of Android all make their own additional efforts.. such as LG's multitouch disabling, Samsung's colour inversion & correction, and HTC's multi level text size. >From what I understand it is driven in part by competing for lucrative corporate and government procurement contracts, which have internal or legal accessibility obligations. But it's also a nice example of what happens when the competition trumps you with a new feature. So if either Sony or MS were to make a serious gesture towards accessibility, it wouldn't be long before the other one copied them. Take the one real accessibility consideration that they've made so far, highly detailed customisation of how subtitles/captions are displayed (for PS3/4 it affects videos only, for XB360/1 the settings are actually available for game devs to access, although no dev has ever used them). That's quite an unusual thing to have implemented given the general lack of accessibility everywhere else. I'm not sure which console did it first, but as even the fine details of the feature are pretty much identical across both PS and XB, one clearly copied the other.

I know Hulu's are pretty basic, but Netflix offer the same kind of options: http://s494.photobucket.com/user/mikeyts/media/NetflixSubtitleAppearance.jpg.html So with the system preference being available to game developers on the 360/XB1, I assume that's a similar situation to the colourblind simulator in Unreal - a lone MS developer thinking they may as well allow wider access to the settings, but it not being part of the bigger roadmap so not publicised to devs. From: thomas at westin.nu Date: Thu, 6 Nov 2014 22:31:04 +0100 To: games_access at igda.org Subject: Re: [games_access] Switch access on Android Hi Ian, Regarding captioning; a guess is that Valve?s long-time support for [CC] have played an important part.
