Good work Matthew, really useful and rather informationally rich. Some comments/questions below, as I review/type. You've touched on some already. Q: It would be good to know what parts of existing game/engine platform architecture can currently support AT? More specifically passing role/state/value information from the game, it's environment and actions. Q: Are there OS level functions that could provide a solid base for AT interaction with game engines and then AT? You touch on this in the personalisation settings piece on the OS. A great idea. Reading the paper made me wonder to what degree games need to be abstracted - so the AT user interacts with a different layer of the game? A gaming OSM (or the AOM) or similar that uses a semantic landscape for the user to interact with? I think you touched on that in the 'General Adaptations' section - that's a really interesting discussion point IMO. I really like the concrete beginnings section - as CVAA and good UI a11y should be the minimum for sure. Great to hear you worked on Audio Quake - I'm a lapsed Quake player myself :-) Good to see the Active Game Accessibility (AGA) work referenced. This is a really good position paper, and a place to kick off interesting discussion. I do think it covers too much in some ways, as a more narrow scope - such as gaming requirements for cohort x, may make the issues easier to parse for those not in the know, but don't take that as a negative. There is only so much can be done in a position paper and this certainly flies the flag successfully.
