Revolution Offers Hope For Disabled Gamers?

Posted by Zonk on from the that-can-only-be-a-good-thing dept.

Via Joystiq, an article on Mercury News discussing the possible benefits to disabled gamers via use of Nintendo's unique Revolution control scheme. From the article: "Like many people with spinal-cord injuries that affect all four limbs, Taft retains some use of his arms and hands. But it's not enough for effectively operating the typical two-hand game device. He's confident his relatively strong right hand will be able to manipulate the new controller, which is part of the Revolution game system that's still under development by Nintendo."

    Oh great now we're in for a bunch of Chris Reeve naked and petrified troll comments, aren't we?

    Who's bringing the hot grits?

    You laugh now, but when video game sex comes to the XXXbox 720, it'll be pretty damn important for the disabled to operate a "joystick".
