About HOP

We design, develop and engineer driving controls and input devices for wheelchair users and differently abled consumers in the digital gaming industry. Our innovative solutions are focused on consumers that are physically unable to use current standard technology offerings, we offer accessibility and greater inclusivity.

A passion for motorsport and design led to the development of simulator products. There is a distinct lack of availability and accessibility to the simulator market for people with varying disabilities. The company spoke to numerous people in motorsport and simulator racing industries and formed a relationship with Ireland’s only wheelchair bound licenced rally driver Paddy Croke.

We began rapid prototyping and testing of a hand control solution. The product has benefited from numerous iterations as the testing and development offered user-led specific feedback from Paddy, which was then incorporated into the design to suit the needs of the user. This sharp learning curve and approach offered invaluable insight into the needs of potential customers and shaped our design approach and thinking around inclusive and accessible solutions and complimentary products.
