Video games. Good job. Leo has issues with this motor ability, doesn't have access to a lot of things. There's so many disabled people that deserve a shot to be like everyone else. I want to be a part of this world. So this is my Xbox adaptive joystick and allows her to use the controller without using both hands. He just clicked. To him, this is a joystick. I manipulate the character and this is how I'm going to move myself. You got everybody covered. This is how we do this is my fun stick Topper. You can get different sizes and this is what I'm used to, make it easier to manoeuvre. You can get files from the experts down there, then you can go somewhere else and get it printed. Be yourself, design it how you want. You're playing with your Xbox controller. Right side right side with the Xbox controller says when he needs help, when he gets stuck I can hold these, hit the gas for him, then he can control the rest. Having the joystick levels the playing field for him. Play you can do everything you can do. He enjoys winning and will definitely let you know when he does.
Accessibility is so important but so often overlooked; I am glad to see more accessible options for people coming out. Good job Microsoft. Hopefully other companies will follow along in the gaming world, and everywhere else.
This is the definition of inclusive technology 👏👏👏
This is how we do it 🥹💪🏼
