Description

Severely physically disabled players such as quadriplegics have a hard time playing games, simply because the amount of interaction required by modern games is beyond what they can provide. To help severely physically disabled, we created a mod for Halflife2 Death match that can be played using only one button. Our mod demonstrates that it is possible to make games more accessible by reducing the amount of required interaction, without compromising game play. Players only have to precisely time their shots while their character automatically hunts for enemies and aims at the nearest opponent. Severely physically disabled but also elderly, players with cognitive limitations and or no experience can enjoy playing a first person shooter like half life 2 and can participate in a death match tournament with their friends.
