Wheelchair-Mounted Gaming Controller

Developed during the ASSIST HEIDI Summer School 2025 at Technikum Vienna, this project explored accessible gaming through an iterative co-design process with Oliver, a gamer with motor limitations. Various layouts, button types, and joystick mechanisms have been tested and prototyped to identify solutions that best matched the co-designers needs. The resulting controller, tailored to Oliver’s hand posture and muscle capacity, enables him to play Gran Turismo more comfortably while remaining compatible with most games and platforms.

Brief
Oliver has difficulties with common controllers because it takes a lot of strength and precision to operate the buttons. How can a costum controller improve his gaming experience?
