Microsoft just announced a new controller for the Xbox One that will bring accessibility to gaming for those with a variety of disabilities.
It is called the Xbox Adaptive Controller (XAC), and its design is not like anything you have ever seen. It looks a bit like a dual-turntable device that one would use to DJ a party. In fact, that is what I thought it was when I first saw pictures of it.

When the joystick cursor is in the center (rest position), the values read by the analog input are in a range from 519 to A1 and from 500 to A0. Figure 2 A/D values as a function of joystick position. The embedded software was developed using state machine (switch-case) and level tests with if-else in an infinite loop. Advanced Electronic Vehicle Interface Technology 2.0 (AEVIT), by Electronic Mobility Controls (EMC) The AEVIT 2.0 system uses two servomotors, one for the gas/brake functions and one for the steering functions. Various input devices used to send electronic signals to the servomotors to perform the desired operation. Input devices include lever, joystick or wheel/lever, wheel/joystick. Input devices will vary.
The minimalist design has two large circular pads, an over-sized directional control crossbar, and a few menu buttons. It has a headphone jack on the side as well as a USB port for connecting a separate joystick, but what sets the XAC apart are the 19 3.5mm jacks on the back of the device.
The ports can be used to connect a wide array of assistive technology including foot pedals, blowing tubes, over-sized buttons, and even custom-made inputs. Each jack corresponds to an Xbox controller button. The port configurations can also be custom mapped for any desirable setup using the Xbox Accessories app.

It also has what Microsoft is calling “Copilot Mode.” This feature allows the XAC to pair with a standard Xbox controller to create a hybrid setup. So say for example the player cannot reach the shoulder buttons. Foot pedals can be plugged into the shoulder button ports on the XAC so the player can control those with his or her feet while still using the regular controller for the rest of the buttons. The mode also opens up the opportunity for the player with limited mobility to be assisted by a friend using the the regular controller while they use the adaptive controls.
