Title: 共享控制用于游戏可访问性：了解当前的人类合作实践以指导部分自动化解决方案的设计

Abstract: Shared control is a form of video gaming accessibility support that allows players with disabilities to delegate inaccessible controls to another person. Through interviews involving 14 individuals with lived experience of accessible gaming in shared control, we explore the ways in which shared control technologies are adopted in practice, the accessibility challenges they address, and how the support currently provided in shared control can be automated to remove the need for a human assistant. Findings indicate that shared control is essential for enabling access to otherwise inaccessible games, but its reliance on human support is a key limitation. Participants welcomed the idea of automating the support with software agents, while also identifying limitations and design requirements. Accordingly, this work contributes insights into current practices and proposes guidelines for developing automated support systems. Show Chinese abstract

Abstract: 共享控制是一种视频游戏无障碍支持形式，允许有残疾的玩家将无法操作的控制交给另一个人。 通过涉及14名具有共享控制无障碍游戏实际经验的个体的访谈，我们探讨了共享控制技术在实践中是如何被采用的，它们解决了哪些无障碍挑战，以及当前共享控制提供的支持如何通过自动化来消除对人工助手的需求。 研究结果表明，共享控制对于使原本无法访问的游戏变得可访问至关重要，但其对人工支持的依赖是一个主要限制。 参与者欢迎通过软件代理实现支持自动化的想法，同时指出了局限性和设计要求。 因此，这项工作提供了对当前实践的见解，并提出了开发自动化支持系统的指南。
