“In terms of console accessibility, Xbox One’s ‘Copilot’ feature enables players to use multiple controllers to control one in-game player. “Offering gameplay modes with reduced control schemes can open up games to a wider range of players,” said Donegan. FIFA 18’s two-button control scheme is also something that SpecialEffects frequently recommends for players with physical disabilities, along with NHL 18’s NHL 94 control scheme. He points to games like Forza Motorsport 7 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, which have “smart steering” that help players interact with fewer buttons pressed.

“Double Fine are an example of a mainstream company which have made a game ( Day of the Tentacle) fully accessible to people who use a wide range of gaze trackers.”ĭonegan says that beyond just implementing gaze-assisted interactions, developers can add in a number of features that will make their games more accessible. “Whilst this hasn’t had a direct impact on our work helping people with disabilities to access games yet, as the lower cost mainstream Tobii eye-trackers become more widely available, this will hopefully have a positive knock-on effect in terms of people with disabilities being able to use them for an increasingly wide range of gaze accessible games too,” said Donegan. Players can also separately purchase the $100 EyeX and the $150 Eye Tracker 4C (which comes with additional head-tracking) to play games with eye-tracking.

When it comes to gaming, Donegan says that the affordable price of Tobii’s EyeX and Eye Tracker 4C cameras may very well help raise awareness about how the technology can help those with disabilities. Tobii’s tracker comes in certain hardware packages, like the Alienware 17 R4 laptop and the Predator 21X monitor.
