Oct 31 2023Reviewed by Danielle Ellis, B.Sc. Jerome, a seven-year-old boy with cerebral palsy , has been able to play a video game for the first time, with the help of a team of University of Melbourne Biomedical Engineering Masters students, who have co-designed a customized video game controller with him.
Jerome has reduced motor function and does not have the fine motor ability to use a regular or modified video game controller. To tackle this problem, students Aswini Abeysinghe, Fidel Febri Halim and Karen Jones from the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technology set out to create a more accessible video game controller for him.
“We needed a bespoke device fit for purpose and designed to work specifically for Jerome, and the team settled on three technologies that had the potential to be successful.
