"Drive with Eye-Tracking: Open Drive Now in Early Access on Android"

Open Drive, a groundbreaking racing game for mobile devices, is now available in early access on Android. Developed by SpecialEffect, a charity dedicated to helping physically disabled players enjoy video games, in collaboration with Sun & Moon Studios, this game redefines accessibility in gaming.

What’s the Game About?

Open Drive is crafted to be inclusive, offering multiple control options including touch, keyboard and mouse, switch access, and controllers. This ensures that players can enjoy the game in a way that suits them best. A particularly innovative feature is the mobile-specific eye control, which allows players using compatible eye gaze cameras to steer simply by looking left or right. This is a significant advancement for accessibility, making the game playable for those who rely on alternative input methods like eye gaze across all four of its diverse open worlds: Stunt, Speed, Snow, and Meadow.

The gameplay in Open Drive is designed to be flexible. Players can leisurely explore and collect orbs or engage in high-octane action, chasing high scores and executing spectacular jumps with vehicles like the Roadster, Trickster, or Speedster. Additionally, players can adjust the game's speed to their preference. To get a glimpse of the game's features, check out the early access announcement trailers below.

Similarly, specific configurations are available for Switch Access, mouse, keyboard, and Android-compatible gamepads/controllers.
