Inclusive Esports

A framing of competitive gaming that enables players with and without disabilities to compete on common terms — through universal input modalities (e.g., EMG, motion sensing, eye tracking), accessible controllers, software-based player balancing, or game designs that avoid reliance on precise kinematic motion. Inclusive esports contrasts with purely parallel "adaptive esports" leagues by aiming for shared play rather than separate competition, and is a growing focus of HCI accessibility research and industry programs.
