This document provides an overview of Open Sound Control (OSC) as middleware for games accessibility and body movement controlled gaming. It discusses OSC applications and uses, including for virtual DJ software, networking performances, and video jockeying. Examples of OSC controllers are provided, such as the Lemur, Jazz Mutant, and Touch OSC. Demos are described using a Wiimote, video and audio, and an iPhone. OSC is presented as enabling middleware for integrating a variety of input devices, such as Wacom tablets, Wiimotes, balance boards, and human interface devices, with audio, video tracking, and MIDI. Future developments discussed include incorporating OSC gateways into video games and using sensors
