Steam Controller Demonstration Is Here!
Valve has recently released a video demonstration on how their new Steam controller will respond to various types of games on the upcoming Steam Machine. This controller is something I’m very excited to see! It features two highly sensitive track pads in place of traditional thumbsticks and a touchscreen in the center. This new shiny also let’s you customize the button settings to meet your needs! This will potentially be enabling numerous disabled gamers to perform at their best ability! Valve is actually in support for Steam Machine controller modifications are encouraged by steam. As Valve states:
The Steam Controller was designed from the ground up to be hackable. Just as the Steam Community and Workshop contributors currently deliver tremendous value via additions to software products on Steam, we believe that they will meaningfully contribute to the design of the Steam Controller. We plan to make tools available that will enable users to participate in all aspects of the experience, from industrial design to electrical engineering. We can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Is This the Next Big Thing?
Could this be the controller disabled gamers have needed for so long? Possibly, but only time will tell. The Steam Machine is coming in 2014, so until then check out the demonstration video as well as Steam’s Controller Announcement. Look for more disability headlines in our News column!
