Description

Paul Lane uses his mouth and face to push buttons and guide his virtual car on Gran Turismo, a game on the PlayStation 5. It is how he has been playing for the past 23 years, after a car accident left him unable to use his fingers. Paul Lane 在 PlayStation 5 上的 Gran Turismo 

游戏中用嘴和脸按下按钮并引导他的虚拟汽车。在一场车祸导致他无法使用手指后,他在过去 23 年里一直这样玩游戏 。 


Playing video games has long been difficult for people with disabilities. The controllers for the PlayStation, Xbox or Nintendo can be very hard, or even impossible, to use for people with limited mobility. 

对于残疾人来说,玩电子游戏一直很困难。对于行动不便的人来说,PlayStation、Xbox 或 Nintendo 的控制器可能很难甚至不可能使用。


As part of the gaming industry's efforts to fix the problem, Sony has worked with Lane and others to develop the new Access controller for PlayStation. Other companies, including Microsoft, and even people with 3-D printers have also created their own accessible controllers. 

作为游戏行业解决该问题的努力的一部分,索尼与 Lane 等人合作开发了适用于 PlayStation 的新型访问控制器。其他公司,包括微软,甚至拥有 3D 打印机的人也创建了自己的无障碍控制器。 


"I was big into sports before my injury," said Cesar Flores. The 30-year-old has used a wheelchair since a car accident eight years ago. He also worked with Sony on the controller. “And when I play video games, it reminds me that I’m still human. It reminds me that I’m still one of the guys.” 

“受伤前我很喜欢运动,”塞萨尔·弗洛雷斯说。这位30岁的男子自八年前的一场车祸后就一直使用轮椅。他还与索尼合作开发控制器。“当我玩电子游戏时,它提醒我我仍然是人类。这提醒我,我仍然是其中一员。”


Putting the traditional controller aside, Lane, 52, switches to the Access. It is round and customizable and can rest on a table or wheelchair tray. It can be customized in many ways, depending on what the user needs. That includes switching buttons and thumbsticks, programming special controls and combining two controllers to be used as one. As Lane plays Gran Turismo, he uses the back of his hand on the controller. 

抛开传统控制器,Lane, 52 切换到 Access。它是圆形的,可定制,可以放在桌子或轮椅托盘上。它可以通过多种方式进行定制,具体取决于用户的需求。这包括切换按钮和拇指杆、对特殊控件进行编程以及将两个控制器组合为一个控制器。当莱恩玩《Gran Turismo》时,他会用手背操作控制器。
