The dashboard can be memorised. If you get a Kinect with the xbox, then you can also use voice commands to navigate the interface and launch games, and the success and/or failure of what you asked is indicated with audio queues. The newer Kinect games like Kinect sports season 2 also let you use voice commands in the game's menus. Downloading digital games is accessible because you can do it from the xbox live website. The cconsole is smart enough to start downloading new purchases and when they're finished you get a sound. You can also use the smart glass app on iOS, android or Windows 8 to control the console and launch games. Now, for some speculation. The Xbox one is very likely to receive Windows 10, and it will support running new "universal" apps, so it's very likely it may receive a narrator feature, especially considering that because Microsoft is pushing it as a media consumption device it might fall under the FCC accessibility regulations.

hi all,

am at a friends house and he's got an xbox 360. some of the games he plays are 
pretty fun. obviously the games themselves would vary in accessibility but 
overall what about the whole xbox experience? what level of accessibility is 
there currantly? is there work being done to make the xbox experience more 
accessible?
