Foam to help disabled patients to play videogames

About the solution

Because of his disability, it is hard for Giddeon to hold the controllers. When the boy went to Able Gamers, tried to play the Kinect, a camera-like device that sees human movement as the controller. But due to his disability, the camera was unable to see Giddeon’s arms.

Almost instaltly, Mark reached into the packing supplies and pulled out a long piece of thick foam and handed it to the boy. Giddeon stepped back up to the Kinect with foam in hand like a baseball bat. It worked, as the device was able to see his figure. Now Giddeon is able to play Kinect, using a cheap and simple solution.

“I was just so excited to see the smile on his face as he was playing Kinect for the first time”, Mark explained.
