Description
Welcome to S.ALT!
An adaptive controller — small but essential, like salt.
Ageing should not hold you back. With this modular system, you can find your own way to enjoy gaming without pain — game without pain.
‘Press a button to start.’ — a sentence that sounds simple but represents a hurdle for many, due to pain or limited mobility.
This project designs a speculative interface: an adaptive game controller for older people. The goal is to consider the needs of ageing, go beyond existing solutions, and rethink design — inclusive, critical, and future-oriented.
