The world of games for game lovers is a different world on its own, game lovers come from different regions of the world, to enjoy the act irrespective of the colour, the age or the race, games bring people together. In previous generations, computer gamers had to go to specific game centres in order to have fun, but technology took over and the game materials became affordable and easy to get and it became extremely easy for almost every household to have a computer game.
Every computer game comes with a game controller which produces comfort and pleasure as the game is being played. Game controllers have gone through some sections of evolvement and improvement over the years. Initially, game controllers or game pads entailed holding a joy stick in one hand and holding the entire game pad in the other hand but things have changed and currently, the entire game pad could be held in one hand and controlled with the thumb without stress.
Game lovers enjoyed every step or phase of evolution as it came with improvements, but it was discovered that some set of individuals were left out, game lovers who were disabled could not enjoy the game, some of them could not control the pad for a long time or they had to go through pain just to hold the pad.
Able gamers have carried out a survey that are over 30 million disabled gamers in the world and in order to meet the needs of disabled game lovers, Microsoft came out with the launch of xbox Adaptive Controller, the idea of this invention is to make gaming convenient for game lovers with different disabilities.
The Xbox Adaptive controller comes in the shape of a keyboard that is white in colour, it is made up of two big black buttons, and one of the buttons is described as button A while the other is described as button B, the complete pack of the pad comes with ten buttons but the remaining eight control panels are sold differently from the main two large panels. Scientists say the other eight panels could be arranged according to the convenience of the gamer. Microsoft offers customizing services as a means to meet the taste of each individual according to their disabilities.
An interview with one of the disabled game lovers who had the opportunity to test the game controller, disclosed that: not every disabled person might have the opportunity to work from home like he does, and it might be very difficult for them to afford it but there is a charity organization for disabled people and they seem to be interested in the game life of the disabled too, this charity organization might consider getting the game pad for as many people as they can afford.
