Abstract
This paper presents Last Tank Rolling, a collaborative motion-based military survival game in which players using wheelchairs are invited to apply their assistive device to control a tank. The game offers a strong in-game metaphor for the wheelchair, and invites joint physical interaction that encourages able-bodied players to perceive their peer as a competent collaborator. Ultimately, this project aims to explore the value of shared video game play as a means of empowering people with disabilities, and connecting players of all abilities to foster inclusion.
