Nobody likes being left out. That’s why UK-based charity SpecialEffect put fun and inclusion back into the lives of people with physical disabilities by helping them to play video games. By using technology ranging from modified games controllers to eye-control, we’re finding a way for people of all ages to play to the very best of their abilities.
There's no one-size-fits-all way of doing this, so we meet people face-to-face to find out exactly what they want to play and what they need to play. We’ll then match or modify technology to create and loan truly personalised gaming control setups, and back this up with lifelong follow-up support.
Founded in 2007, we’re now providing lifelong face-to face support on an individual basis to hundreds of people across the UK. We’re also answering thousands of enquiries from around the world and having an increasing global influence through our collaboration with hardware and software developers. Our own freely-available accessibility utilities are bringing the magic of gaming within reach of thousands more.
We don’t charge for anything we do. We simply aim to do whatever it takes to raise the quality of life of as many disabled gamers all over the world as possible.

How to Play Cooperatively on Console
zhlédnutí 191Před měsícem
In this video, SpecialEffect OT, Frankie, will be looking at some of the options we use to enable players to play cooperatively on games consoles. Cooperative play is when one person has access to some of the controls and they play with a second person who has access to the rest of the controls. It is a way to share controls so two players can play as one player, in-game. Whether the person can...

Hello guys! Can you share the script of the combos?

did you find how to hide or remove it?
Fully retro video 😊
I Discovered These Tricks 4 Myself!
This is actually pretty cool!
I have so many good memories for this game
I played this before when i was a young child
How long time have you had your mouse? How long have you been practicing?
Ty
how do you do a for loop?
Poor Simon. What condition or disability does he have? I'm glad they make special/ custom controllers for people like him, so they can play video games.
Why in fifa 17 18 have mouse logo
Can you tell me that how to do skills using mouse?
Very Helpful!
Where can you get something like this? One of my friends has a son with DMD and loves video games but cant play with standard controllers.
The controller used in the video is called an Adroit Switchblade. This is the most recent version of the controller: www.evilcontrollers.com/new-adroit-switchblade.html Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
Amazing....
so I can use a controller on my xim4 for movement instead of using a keyboard?
everything is ok ... but how to link the software to the game?
Hello, the game picks up commands from GlovePie as keyboard inputs so it should automatically recognize the voice control.
Amazing. Go Will and congrats to Special Effects. Life changing.
Really love this video 😍
Good video! Keep it up!
Hey, amazing video
Hello, I recently met your channel on CZcams and soon enough, what caught my attention was the adaptation in the Xbox control. I was in a motorcycle accident 10 months ago, and it left me with sequels, like loss of movement of my left arm. With this injury I stopped doing something that I love most in life, which is video games. Its action was spectacular, it is a pity that this initiative does not come from the big manufacturers, but I would like to know if it is possible for me to acquire one of these works of art that you created Sorry for the errors, I'm using Google translator
Hi, this controller is from Ben Heck: www.benheck.com/controllers/ Hopefully they will be taking orders again soon. There are some other solutions on our channel which you may be interested in, such as: czcams.com/video/l2BlAAqcnKs/video.html
which game were u playing in this video?
Hi, it's Disney Infinity Star Wars.
Oh man. That's great stuff.
To see her proudly smiling at the end of the clip just filled my eyes with water ♡
Hi, wich minijoystyck do you use ?
My brother is the same! He's even better than me in some cases! Keep on going, Ceyda! You'll be great!
Great video! What kind of tv or monitor are you using?
Thank you. It is a Samsung UE32J5100.
dope!
someone is stood behind you with a ps4 controller ,he'll delete this comment ,notice how none of his controllers turn on
Can you save each button map setup and switch on the fly?
You can only save one profile.
can you plz show how to use an PS4 controller on and xb1 system using the same adapter
Formidable!
So happy and proud to have been apart of this this year!
Congratulations =)
Too bad it is not for individual games. If you want Steam style remapping for Xbox (and all other systems), check this one out. czcams.com/video/L781LIhJzjQ/video.html www.all-controller.com/
These guys are great. They came out to see me and really took their time trying to find the best set up for me.
Is it possible to connect two Ps3 controllers? If so, how do you set it up? Any help would be much appreciated.
Have you tried World of tanks?
How would you hook up the xim4 to the ps3
man it was an awesome event runescape did I donated alot to runescape for the event while ago I'm glad to see it being used 😊
