Ben Heck has modded the kick pedal on the drums of guitar hero so it can be operated by puff of the mouth by someone who uses a wheelchair.
 
Ben shows exactly how he went about the awesome mod over on his blog in a post here.

This is a brilliant example of exactly the kind of thing I see Lifekludger as being destined for – to bring together people who make things for fun [Makers] and need things for life [Livers].

As one of the commenters says “With a fracking war going on, it would seem the already existent market for handicap accessible accessories would be noticeably increased.”

The ‘market’ already exists but it’s so dispersed and hidden and it’s nature so specific it’s unrecogisable and unmanagable by traditional models of supply – which is why we need a new, adaptive model – a crowd sourced one.

Well done Ben.
