To create a virtual experience that accurately emulates how people with disabilities navigate the world. This would be achieved by creating a virtual enviroment that the user could explore in VR with visual and audio effects added. The user will need to complete a simple trip to a shopping center, but will have to navigate the challenges from the effects.
Our backup idea was to create a touchscreen interactive game, by whcih the player needs to find all the objects on the screen. This would be done by dragging a light across the screen, to case light on only a specific part of the play area at a time, fastest time wins.
Part of my role in the project was to create an informative website which people will be able to find out more about our projects, find rescources regarding different disabilities and it will act supplementary to the VR headset. Due to our project being shown in the transmedia exhibition, some people may not have time to try out our headset, so this works as a good alternative. Click here to view the website.
