Abstract

The video games are often inaccessible to disabled motor people of the upper limbs. The specialized games are limited choice of the set of accessible games. We present a new accessible technique of interaction: the Virtual Paddle. We designed it with a user-centered method. It is composed of three steps: questionnaire, brainstorming and paper prototypes. Next, we present the experiment to choose the optimized paddle. Finally we discuss the results and our perspective.
