Panel - Accessibility Challenges in 2020
summary
Panel lists concrete wins and gaps: an Xbox Adaptive Controller ships with two large buttons and dozens of 3.5mm ports so external switches map to any controller input, it works on Xbox/PC and showed up in a Super Bowl ad; caption use is widespread (one game found 65% of players enable captions, 90% keep them on); Google Play adds a visible blind-friendly tag for audio and screen‑reader games; automated AI fixes are useful but not sufficient — human review and participation from people with disabilities remain required.
