Insanely cool blog post. I had no idea about the XBox Adaptive Controller: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/accessories/controllers/xbox-adap...

I am surprised that we have not seen some sick setups shared on HN.

It’s so amazing how far assistive technology has come!

This is a fantastic article but I wish he would have included some wish list or constructive criticism, clearly there are areas of improvement!

But to discern an ask from his writings: At the end he mentions the complexities of working so many different purpose-specific tools— is this perhaps the next area of progress, tool integration and a cohesive experience?

It's really great to see paths forward despite extreme difficulties. My late friend would have been interested in all of these setups, especially the facial tracking. Thank you for sharing this.

There are several Twitch streamers with similar setups.

It's discouraging when they haven't streamed for a while like NoHandsKen, though I'm surprised to not find any evidence of a couple streams 3-6 months ago.

this sort of digital accessibility fascinates me. I'd love to get into working in that field.
