scope:

The present document describes and examines the problems arising from inconsistency of usability and accessibility design practices in video game controls and identifies the role of standards-based solutions to inconsistent design practise.

The present document also reports on the challenges relating to implementing usability and accessibility measures in video games. The usability and accessibility measures covered in the present document address their impact on users with hearing, vision, touch, cognitive and motor control types of disabilities. The gap analysis given in the present document refers to an idealized model to identify what needs to be done to bridge any identified gaps. The present document identifies use cases to describe the application of usability and accessibility measures and their relative impact on video games design and identifies mitigations to the identified gaps in the form of additional guidance or standardization from ETSI.
