These instructions
Game On with Pretorian Technologies is a unique
assistive gaming product, allowing users of eye-gaze
enabled AAC devices and computers to achieve full
control of computer games using only their eyes.
It may be used to play games either on a standard PC or
on an Xbox via an Xbox Adaptive Controller. The user's
AAC device, such as a computer* or Grid Pad running
Grid 3, displays a special gaming grid set with a similar
layout to a standard game controller handset.
Simply gaze at any of the grid cells and the
corresponding game controller action is sent to the
game console/ gaming computer to successfully play
the game. Every one of the controls on a standard
game controller is reproduced in the grid set,
including both momentary and timed thumbstick
movements and single, double and timed presses
of all buttons, bumper and triggers. A Rapid-Fire
option is also included for all buttons and triggers.
The grid set may be easily customised for particular users
and/or particular games, a feature which is especially
useful when the user has low cognition and would be
unable to understand a full game controller layout.
INSTRUCTIONS
Eye-Gaze Gaming device
Product Description
Editing the grid set may also be beneficial when using
Game On with Co-Pilot.
The display and keypad on Game On with Pretorian
Technologies allows the user to adapt the degree
of thumbstick movement and all timer periods
and may optionally be saved as a Profile. Up to six
Profiles may be stored and recalled, either using
the keypad or directly on the AAC device using
eye-gaze. Profiles are useful both for customising
the gaming experience for individual games or for
individual users, depending on their preferences
and particular needs.
Game On with Pretorian Technologies also allows
up to four players to be in the same room, a facility
which can equally enable co-operative gaming,
where each player takes control of a subset of the
controls, or to allow gaming tournaments where
multiple gamers are playing individually in the same
setting. Each player will need his or her own Game
On device.
*PC running Grid 3 must have an infra-red output, for
example by connecting an Abilia Progress Star USB.
