[Toxica]

Awesome work!

 

[Rick743]

I would like to live in a world where everyone could play videogames.
Just the other day I saw a guy with palsy playing CoD Warzone like a pro. It was dope!

 

[Ary666]

I'm glad, great opportunity for all

 

[Oogabooga]

Maybe make gaming speakers?

 

[reneg]

Yeah, I saw this before. It's really great. Good for children. And not only good for them, also it's great way to experience gaming for older people who have disabilities.

 

[MrPolar98]

Everyone deserves a chance to play games

 

[lampshade]

Seeing those smiles... it's one of the most beautiful things in the world. Just keep making more people happy.

 

[Hawkrider221]

This is some awesome stuff they're doing. Glad that fellow gamers out there are getting the tools they need to get the best gaming experience one can have

 

[SpectrumlordNY]

I think that SpecialEffect is a wonderful organization and I think that the Tobii EyE tracking system would be a great product to help those with developmental issues be able to make full use of computers for education and self improvement as well as gaming.

 

[OriginalMarvX]

it's awesome to see how many people are in first line to help other people!!!

 

[Cloudst69]

I really admire inclusion projects like this. Way to go!

 

[Wodrich]

What a great cause.

 

[Riadon]

Amazing campaign and i wish more companies would take part on it. I would like to see more examples like the Microsoft Adaptive Controller for Xbox.

 

[DXCHASE]

Its organizations like this that whenever some tries to tell me that gaming is dumb, or that you cant do anything great with it, i show them this. Without tools like those used by SpecialEffect, a lot of children with disabilities might not be able to develop as much as they do. Good job!

 

[I has ChezBurga]

The adaptive controller for Xbox brought a lot towards gaming for peiple who can't use a normal controller, I'd like to see more products that could act like that sort of open gateway

 

[Justin_CNG]

Thanks for doing this guys

 

[Caspertoo]

With all this divisiveness, this is definitely something we can all support.

 

[gus]

This is amazing! I hope they keep making awsome products like this!

 

[XGorblumX]

I have to applaud you guys at SpecialEffect for making it possible for more opportunities to enjoy gaming at ease with helpful devices.

I think one day that you can possibly create something to be comfortable and more easier to wear a VR headset one day to experience the whole feeling of being within the VR world. Maybe some developer will create relaxing and amazing experiences to see in a Virtual World to enjoy. Would love to see a very detailed Virtual World based upon under water that you can see almost life like fishes and such because I don't think everyone gets to experience the under water feeling of deep sea diving and getting to see such a beautiful world in the depths of the world. But if a VR headset and software can give more people this kind of experience to enjoy I think it can be appreciated.

 

[Tapsel]

Every product that someway helps disabled people is a bless!

Hmm am i doing this right Anyway I don't really know everything you guys have created already. But i was thinking about some sort of gaming stuff for blind people, cuz they cant really know what is on the screen unless they have some specific monitor for it or something..

 

[elevenfall]

I've always wondered if it's possible to track a person's eye movement and possible share it to his/her teammates in real-time if he is unable to speak (mute).

 

[DeaDaim]

I'd like to see a cool gaming mouse in this giveaway

 

[LwtEngineer]

This is such an amazing cause, and I'm really glad it is getting the publicity it deserves.

 

[Joolez]

I would like to see Special Effects develop a controller purely based on voice commands so that gamers with full motor dysfunctions can still play with only their voices.

While I think inclusive controllers are fantastic and a great step towards the right direction, they are still missing gamers that are paraplegic from the neck down, if you can control a game character only through your voice or through your voice PLUS an inclusive controller (like Microsoft's) then every single human being can enjoy videogames.
