From #Epic Wins to #TechFails: The Intersectional (in)accessibility of Gaming Technologies

This talk provides a cultural interrogation into the (in)accessibility of gaming technologies. By exploring, the Xbox Kinect, Adaptive Controllers, facial recognition, and other surveillance technologies, I explore the potentials of innovative advances in gaming and it's impact on culture. Gaming hash become the "canary in the coal mine" in providing a roadmap for possibilities and pitfalls in the gaming world but it's important to explore the technological limits along the lines of marginalized identity.
