[community] accessible LMS and VR - Looking for some help

[pina.dintino at gmail.com]

Hello everyone, Happy New Year to all and yes I agree with Jutta sounds like
it is going to be a busy and exciting one.

A colleague of mine at the federal government is looking for some help  on
the topic of accessible LMS and VR and I thought who better to reach out to
for expertise. Below is a copy of his  request. If anyone can help, please
let me know. P.S.: I'd also like to know more about this myself. 

"I will be joining conversations about the possibility of using Virtual
Reality technology as a learning tool to explore barriers and accessibility
(just an example for context: it could be the user navigates an airport and
encounters barriers and has to determine what would remove the barrier - the
user might do the experience with a visual, hearing, mobility, intellectual
etc. impairment).  The focus would be on awareness of barriers and how to
remove them rather than suggesting the experience at all gives a sense of
what it is like to experience a particular impairment.

 

Are you aware of any resources or individual who has expertise on
accessibility issues with VR itself as a tool? I don't know if audio and
other sensory overlays would provide a valuable experience for someone with
visual impairments, etc.  Let me know if you are aware of any resources."

Sincerely,

Pina
