Designing & Developing an Accessible STEM-based VR Game

Description:

The leads of an education design team and a VR development team will discuss how they worked together on a National Science Foundation project (#2005447) to create a virtual reality (VR) game that’s a) accessible to a broad audience, including neurodivergent players and others with sensory, attention, or social challenges, b) fun to experience and play, and c) educationally worthwhile, building players’ awareness of and interest in STEM. They’ll share examples of how their different perspectives and expertises combined to shape the game, as well as lessons learned about accessible VR design.
