Extreme gaming on the Mac: new short video shows the impossible

AssistiveWare released One Thumb to Rule Them All, a new HD video and video podcast, featuring Michael Phillips, gamer and freelance technology writer. Mike was born with spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and can only move his thumb. That has not stopped him from playing World of Warcraft and Unreal Tournament 2004, from becoming one of the key writers for Inside Mac Games, from contributing chapters to books such as Peachpit's Macintosh Bible and from being a presenter at major conferences. All of this would not have been possible if it was not for his Mac, a proximity switch, Origin Instrument's Swifty switch interface and AssistiveWare's SwitchXS software.

In the 3.5 minute video, Michael Phillips shows computer access and gaming at the extreme. With one thumb he rules them all! Mike Phillips lives in Tampa, Florida. This new video is available as episode 4 of the Exploring the Frontiers of Assistive Technology podcast series, which can be found in the iTunes store's podcasts section.
