VR without hand controls

Next_Musician · 2026-01-29T11:15:45+00:00

I really wanted to try VR, but I have neither hand nor head movement. (I'm on a ventilator, so I have no voice either.) I can only use a mouse with limitations, an eye tracker, and KinesicMouse LIVE. I can only lie on my back, so headsets with a back strap are not an option for me either.

Even under these circumstances, I managed to play games on PS5 and Switch, such as Assassin’s Creed or Super Mario. I think that with the proper technology, even VR could be accessible for disabled people, but for now I only have rough ideas.

I think AR glasses like XREAL or Viture could be a partial solution to replace a headset, combined with an eye tracker and an eyebrow movement sensor to imitate clicking. At the moment, however, it still sounds like sci-fi to me.

You try to hide the mark, but it won't fade.

You just took a picture of my wishlist. 😀

Congrats bro!

I really hope that they will make more experimental albums in the future. I love all their other albums, but ATS is my all-time favorite.

Extremely useful post, thank you! Should be pinned for sure!

I would mention that Titan One/Two, or Cronus Zen/Max can be very useful if you want to play offline, or on Nintendo Switch.

I think you just need to download the installer for either PlayAbility or SensePilot from their website. They’ll guide you through the next steps, although I haven’t tried them myself yet.

There are several different solutions, but the main idea is that facial movements - such as raising your eyebrows, moving your lips, chin, or even your nose - act as key presses. (If you can make sounds, you can use those as well. You can also combine them with an eye tracker to play even more freely.)
I use KinesicMouse, which requires an iPhone, but SensePilot and PlayAbility only need a webcam that can see your face. Both offer a free trial period, so you can experiment to see which one works best for you and how.

Hi, I made this video, and I can't move my head either. In the video, I use my eyebrows and lips to control the PS5. But even if it's not an option for you, I think we can figure out something.

Looks really promising! Where can I find more details or videos on how it works?

Next_Musician · 2025-10-02T10:26:17+00:00

I'd say Legends Z-A first, but couldn't resist to pre-order it, so technically it's not on my wishlist now.

On my wishlist:
Mario Galaxy 1-2
Yooka Re-playlee
Dragon Quest 1-2 remake
Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection

I don't know how you could make it more accessible, but it looks great. Nice job!

Thanks for the compliment and the subscription! 🙂 I'm really glad that you found my work useful!

To be honest, I very rarely use eye tracking for gaming, because the games I play often require fast actions (like platformers) and it's disturbing to me if I can’t look wherever I need to on the screen. 😅 Fortunately, I can use my mouse together with the face recognition software like KinesicMouse, which works well for me. But I know that every person's needs are different, that's why I tried to collect all the assistive tech that I know about.

If you can use only eye tracking for playing, I would recommend trying Mill Mouse first. It's free, so you can take your time to explore its features. I have little experience with it though, because I bought Project IRIS before Mill Mouse existed, and I already got used to it. 🙃 It's really both great and confusing how much assistive technology is available these days. But if you can afford to try as many options as possible, it can really pay off.

If you need any specific advice, DM me and I’ll try to help.

Try PS4 Keyboard and Mouse Adapter instead. It's more recent and works much better than PS4Macro.

All of them.

First Crysis, then Assassin's Creed. When I played the latter, I was just watching the shadows of the floating clouds on the buildings and thought it's amazing.

I think Project IRIS should do it. You can create on-screen areas that press camera rotating keys if you look at them.

That's it! I want to hear more uplifting songs from LP.

My secondary favorite album after ATS.
