Certainly counts but we’re hoping for local folks. If you have feedback that you’d like to convey to the team I’d be happy to relay it.
Please reach out. We'd love to talk about how we can make more accessible developer tools.
Hi friends! Are you a DEVELOPER with a vision, mobility, or cognitive disability? We'd love you to visit the @IncTechLab in person in Redmond, Washington on May 17th, for an Inclusive Design Sprint to work with devs and experts. Raech out to the @IncTechLab directly! This is paid
We were invited by Kent School District to work with select students who would benefit from our Microsoft Adaptive Accessories. One of the students would accidentally click a button when they didn’t mean to because of involuntary movement. youtu.be/V_dg63V7hok

A lot of game devs ask us “how do I design my game for the Xbox adaptive controller?” The answer is pretty simple: you don’t. We don’t design games for hardware. We design them for the diverse humans who are enjoying them.
Catch my keynote at #FDG23 on #gameaccessibility 🙏🎮 – at Kirkland, WA
.@KaitlynJones_' incredible summary of the last decade of game accessibility is also online. I thought this was an amazing primer that covered so much ground in one talk - really amazing examples of impactful work too. #fdg23 youtube.com/watch?v=puKaTG1W…

We continue to explore tactile indicators on devices. There are some things that we don't have complete answers for. We’re learning and we hope that others in the industry will try to push this idea forward.
