A deeper understanding of the practices, preferences, obstacles, and workarounds associated with accessible multi-modal input can uncover opportunities to create more accessible computer applications and hardware. We explored how people with limited mobility use multi-modality through a three-part investigation grounded in the context of video games. First, we surveyed 43 people to learn about their preferred devices and configurations. Next, we conducted semi-structured interviews with 14 participants to understand their experiences and challenges with using, configuring, and discovering input setups. Lastly, we performed a systematic review of 74 YouTube videos to illustrate and categorize input setups and adaptations in-situ. We conclude with a discussion on how our findings can inform future accessibility research for current and emerging computing technologies.<\/p>\n<h3>ACM CHI 2022 Presentation<\/h3>\n<p><a class=\"msr-external-link glyph-append glyph-append-open-in-new-tab glyph-append-xsmall\" href=\"https:\/\/iframe.videodelivery.net\/eyJraWQiOiI3YjgzNTg3NDZlNWJmNDM0MjY5YzEwZTYwMDg0ZjViYiIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiI0MjM4YjQwYjkzMWYwY2RiNWM1Njc2ODcyMTU4YzljNiIsImtpZCI6IjdiODM1ODc0NmU1YmY0MzQyNjljMTBlNjAwODRmNWJiIiwiZXhwIjoxNjUxMjY4OTc0fQ.MWieZt8IGI6gUmdelel3Lg8tFEtXmYMt54mGyhE7iyV86wUL0ZOiTM-YVMgqzgqbUBOo_oheIIXf1yi08wlwFD6UdGN_gzRZMb_nNtZLKTjtzjefdjzwTFitD1C9ldD3ovvFlTQG99WjU4PnZIGvm-qNB1VK3ZL7vq49Ew0_QekBqKDO7o8dBBcjO357MDRupkh_d5QXYHEp9xaL9Xyt4HgUXofnoqpUXUu28qtPMTe2yG5NIefb6tXdmKOLQ9gE6NxvfAythkqPR5-gqnUOjw_Pq_s8n7Bm2YLnG8w0-x9j89VVdpOn7ky2FhZpWTaBQFHmqknxNfhHxAc17hhLoA?poster=https%3A%2F%2Fvideodelivery.net%2FeyJraWQiOiI3YjgzNTg3NDZlNWJmNDM0MjY5YzEwZTYwMDg0ZjViYiIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiI0MjM4YjQwYjkzMWYwY2RiNWM1Njc2ODcyMTU4YzljNiIsImtpZCI6IjdiODM1ODc0NmU1YmY0MzQyNjljMTBlNjAwODRmNWJiIiwiZXhwIjoxNjUxMjY4OTc0fQ.MWieZt8IGI6gUmdelel3Lg8tFEtXmYMt54mGyhE7iyV86wUL0ZOiTM-YVMgqzgqbUBOo_oheIIXf1yi08wlwFD6UdGN_gzRZMb_nNtZLKTjtzjefdjzwTFitD1C9ldD3ovvFlTQG99WjU4PnZIGvm-qNB1VK3ZL7vq49Ew0_QekBqKDO7o8dBBcjO357MDRupkh_d5QXYHEp9xaL9Xyt4HgUXofnoqpUXUu28qtPMTe2yG5NIefb6tXdmKOLQ9gE6NxvfAythkqPR5-gqnUOjw_Pq_s8n7Bm2YLnG8w0-x9j89VVdpOn7ky2FhZpWTaBQFHmqknxNfhHxAc17hhLoA%2Fthumbnails%2Fthumbnail.jpg%3Ftime%3D10.0s\">https:\/\/iframe.videodelivery.net\/eyJraWQiOiI3YjgzNTg3NDZlNWJmNDM0MjY5YzEwZTYwMDg0ZjViYiIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiI0MjM4YjQwYjkzMWYwY2RiNWM1Njc2ODcyMTU4YzljNiIsImtpZCI6IjdiODM1ODc0NmU1YmY0MzQyNjljMTBlNjAwODRmNWJiIiwiZXhwIjoxNjUxMjY4OTc0fQ.MWieZt8IGI6gUmdelel3Lg8tFEtXmYMt54mGyhE7iyV86wUL0ZOiTM-YVMgqzgqbUBOo_oheIIXf1yi08wlwFD6UdGN_gzRZMb_nNtZLKTjtzjefdjzwTFitD1C9ldD3ovvFlTQG99WjU4PnZIGvm-qNB1VK3ZL7vq49Ew0_QekBqKDO7o8dBBcjO357MDRupkh_d5QXYHEp9xaL9Xyt4HgUXofnoqpUXUu28qtPMTe2yG5NIefb6tXdmKOLQ9gE6NxvfAythkqPR5-gqnUOjw_Pq_s8n7Bm2YLnG8w0-x9j89VVdpOn7ky2FhZpWTaBQFHmqknxNfhHxAc17hhLoA?poster=https%3A%2F%2Fvideodelivery.net%2FeyJraWQiOiI3YjgzNTg3NDZlNWJmNDM0MjY5YzEwZTYwMDg0ZjViYiIsImFsZyI6IlJTMjU2In0.eyJzdWIiOiI0MjM4YjQwYjkzMWYwY2RiNWM1Njc2ODcyMTU4YzljNiIsImtpZCI6IjdiODM1ODc0NmU1YmY0MzQyNjljMTBlNjAwODRmNWJiIiwiZXhwIjoxNjUxMjY4OTc0fQ.MWieZt8IGI6gUmdelel3Lg8tFEtXmYMt54mGyhE7iyV86wUL0ZOiTM-YVMgqzgqbUBOo_oheIIXf1yi08wlwFD6UdGN_gzRZMb_nNtZLKTjtzjefdjzwTFitD1C9ldD3ovvFlTQG99WjU4PnZIGvm-qNB1VK3ZL7vq49Ew0_QekBqKDO7o8dBBcjO357MDRupkh_d5QXYHEp9xaL9Xyt4HgUXofnoqpUXUu28qtPMTe2yG5NIefb6tXdmKOLQ9gE6NxvfAythkqPR5-gqnUOjw_Pq_s8n7Bm2YLnG8w0-x9j89VVdpOn7ky2FhZpWTaBQFHmqknxNfhHxAc17hhLoA%2Fthumbnails%2Fthumbnail.jpg%3Ftime%3D10.0s<span class=\"sr-only\"> (opens in new tab)<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>People with limited mobility often use multiple devices when interacting with computing systems, but little is known about the impact these multi-modal configurations have on daily computing use.
