00:00At Xbox, we have a controller design that our fans love.
00:04However, for gamers with limited mobility,
00:07or gamers who don't use both their hands,
00:09this controller design might not work best for them.
00:11Oh, I pushed you out of the way, I'm sorry.
00:14Doorknobs are the worst thing ever invented.
00:16Putting on shoes, the cellphones that I use,
00:19these are the sorts of things that we don't think about
00:22until we have to, and I think about them every day.
00:25Yeah!
00:27I have cerebral palsy on my entire right side.
00:30This side of the controller is fine.
00:33This side doesn't happen.
00:37As game platforms have gotten more sophisticated,
00:40the controllers have gotten more sophisticated,
00:42and it started to get really frustrating.
00:43Oh, no!
00:45We designed the Xbox Adaptive Controller
00:48through feedback from the accessibility community.
00:50The Xbox Adaptive Controller is really easy.
00:54to just plug it in, and then you can plug in various other devices
01:00that can make it work for me the way it has to.
01:05With the Xbox Adaptive Controller,
01:07a gamer can game with one hand and one foot,
01:10or one hand and their shoulder,
01:12or even one foot and their chin.
01:14And I can change it from game to game.
01:17Good. Ready? Forward. Squeeze tall. There it is.
01:22Craig Hospital is a facility for patients
01:25who've either had a spinal cord injury or a traumatic brain injury,
01:28and it's a place for their rehab.
01:31Yes!
01:32We're here for game night, and we're helping new patients
01:34getting back into gaming again.
01:37Is that the D-pad? Yeah.
01:38Okay.
01:39Our role as occupational therapists is to get people back to doing.
01:42When the Xbox Adaptive Controller came along,
01:44it acted like an Xbox controller, and it just worked.
01:46Uh-oh. Over there.
01:49Ooh!
01:50On the standard Xbox controller,
01:53it's just hard to press the buttons
01:55because I can't really put pressure through my hands.
01:57but then with the Adaptive Controller,
01:59I can use, like, larger joysticks,
02:01larger buttons that are easier to press and reach.
02:04Corey and his brother Zachary are twins.
02:06Before Corey's injury,
02:07Zachary had gamed with him regularly,
02:09and that was a way that they related to each other as siblings.
02:12Who do you love playing Xbox with here at Craig Hospital?
02:16Zach.
02:17The Xbox Adaptive Controller and the co-pilot feature
02:21allowed them again to play games together.
02:23So there's a huge social component to it.
02:25You got that.
02:26Yes! Yes!
02:28They can play any game that they want.
02:30I see the confidence just burst out of them.
