Gabriele Cimolino presented today his work on partial automation at the CHI PLAY 2021 conference. Partial automation is a technique making rehabilitation games accessible to people with very difficult abilities, for example as due to spinal cord injury. With partial automation, the game player controls whichever game inputs they can control, and an AI agent controls the game's other inputs. This work was in collaboration with Dr. Sussan Askari of Providence Care in Kingston, and Nick Graham.
