What is adaptive video gaming?

This can include specialized controllers, voice commands, eye tracking, or in-game accessibility options. Here at Warfighter Engaged, we are committed to serving the veteran and gaming community, and focus our energy on sharing the knowledge we’ve gained over the years and advocating for accessibility on a broad scale.
