[Anthony Brooks]

Hello Bryce

We are interested in the thread going on here as my research team look at games (and art creation) accessibility.
Can I ask are you involved in the co-pilot development as I try to locate a direct contact.

Thanks
Tony

CoPilot is a good start, we hope to make it better.


We'll need your feedback. We want it to benefit the most possible people.

Enabling Xbox One to be accessible for everyone: One important area for us with this release is to enable Xbox One to be able to be used and played by everyone. Take for instance our new Copilot feature which allows two controllers to act as if they were one. This will help make Xbox One more inviting to new gamers needing assistance, more fun by adding cooperative controls for any game and easier for players who need unique configurations to play — whether that is with hands apart, hand and chin, hand and foot, etc.. We are also adding new enhancements to Magnifier and Narrator, as well as giving more options over audio output and custom rumble settings on a controller, which was previously reserved for the Xbox Elite Controller. You can find these accessibility options, and more, in Settings > Ease of Access.
