We are really excited to announce that our friends over at Special Effect will be joining us at epic.SEVENTEEN next week, these guys do amazing work and epic.LAN is pleased to give them the opportunity to show off some of their projects.

Check out their website to read up more on the work they do!

SpecialEffect is a charity that brings fun and inclusion to the lives of disabled people by modifying and creating hardware and software to help them play video games using whatever physical abilities they have.

SpecialEffect will be at epic.LAN on Friday 19th February to showcase a couple of examples of the technology they use to help disabled gamers compete on a level playing field.

SpecialEffect’s Baz Floyd told us ‘We’re absolutely delighted to have been invited to epic.LAN. We will be bringing eye-controlled Dirt3 so visitors to our stand can do a lap in a rally car using just their eyes to accelerate, brake and steer. We’ll also be bringing chin-controlled Mario Kart.

epic.LAN is all about competing in the video game arena. We think those attending the event will really understand what we’re all about. We’re really looking forward to meeting you all.’
