angrymilkman writes "Two interesting approaches where researchers modified the popular guitar hero game so it can be played by gamers with disabilities. Air Guitar hero (http://spectrum.ieee.org/nov08/6994) modifies the guitar hero controller so someone without limbs can play it just using electrodes attached to the user's residual arm. Blind Hero (http://kotaku.com/5092565/frets-on-fire-for-the-blind) is a mod for frets on fire that uses a haptic glove that can turn visual feedback into haptic feedback, allowing blind gamers to play Guitar Hero songs."
