―Making everyone a player―
The “ALL PLAYERS WELCOME” project uses technology and ideas to solve social issues.
ALL PLAYERS WELCOME was launched in June 2022 with the aim of creating tools and environments that allow everyone to express themselves, by employing the perspectives and creativity of people from a variety of backgrounds, including people with physical disabilities.
As the first step, we have launched the ‘ALL PLAYERS TOOL LAB’ platform, which provides free access to original user interfaces that expand expression based on the physicality of the user, developed in collaboration with Muto Masatane, an artist living with ALS, and the composer PONE (Guilhem Gallart). There, three tools are provided free of charge that allow users to play music using only their eye movements. We developed a tool that can be played using only eye movements and performed a live performance for approximately 7 minutes at the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity.
