Creating accessible immersive virtual reality

项目摘要

"Since its inception in the sixteenth century the Post Office has pioneered enormous industrial and social advances. Its archive, the Royal Mail Archive, is on the UNESCO Memory of the World Register. The Postal Museum provides the widest possible access to the Royal Mail Archive, Museum Collection and Mail Rail, the Post Office underground railway. The Postal Museum's standout attraction is the Mail Rail Ride. Between 1927 and 2003, narrow gauge, driverless, trains transferred mail between sorting offices in London, a function which was integral to the postal service throughout the 20th century. These trains were not built to carry people; the Postal Museum has built trains take visitors into the rail tunnels and into a projected light animated theatrical experience of its history. However, this experience is not fully accessible to many visitors with physical disabilities or claustrophobia, sensory disabilities or epilepsy. Visitors must be able to walk unaided for a minimum of 100 metres on uneven surfaces with minimal lighting, and up at least 70 steps. There is an audio-visual show for such visitors, but it does not offer an equitable experience to riding Mail Rail.Equal access for people with disabilities is a core priority for the museum, and virtual reality is an excellent tool for accessibility in relation to a large range of disabilities. We want to create an accessible Mail Rail experience which is of equal value to the ride itself. We will adopt a human-centred methodology to produce a design brief for an accessible and immersive virtual reality experience of Mail Rail, which specifically accommodates and responds to visitors' disabilities and is adjustable by its users.The Postal Museum refuses to be satisfied with its current offer to people with disabilities. The Postal Museum and ScanLAB Projects Ltd will explore the needs and accessibility requirements of people with disabilities; produce a design brief; explore ideas and develop prototypes at speed; test the prototypes with people with disabilities; and deliver a specific brief for the research and development of the design for an accessible immersive virtual reality experience of Mail Rail. The project will result in a new approach and method to immersive virtual reality experiences in the cultural sector which is specifically for people with disabilities. There are currently very few projects developing these for the cultural sector: this work will, in turn, influence the creation of immersive virtual reality experiences more generally."

“自16世纪成立以来，邮政局已经开创了巨大的工业和社会进步。它的档案馆，皇家邮件档案馆，被列入联合国教科文组织世界记忆名录。邮政博物馆提供了尽可能广泛的访问皇家邮件档案馆，博物馆收藏和邮件铁路，邮局地下铁路。邮政博物馆的突出吸引力是邮件铁路乘坐。1927年至2003年期间，窄轨、无人驾驶的火车在伦敦的分拣处之间运送邮件，这一功能在整个世纪都是邮政服务不可或缺的一部分。这些火车不是用来载人的;邮政博物馆建造了火车，将游客带入铁路隧道，并进入其历史的投影灯光动画戏剧体验。然而，这种体验对于许多身体残疾或幽闭恐惧症，感官残疾或癫痫的游客来说并不完全方便。参观者必须能够在不平坦的表面上在最低限度的照明下独立行走至少100米，并至少走70级台阶。博物馆为这些游客提供了视听展示，但它并没有提供乘坐邮政铁路的公平体验。残疾人的平等无障碍是博物馆的核心优先事项，虚拟现实是一个很好的工具，可以帮助各种残疾人实现无障碍。我们希望创造一个无障碍的邮件铁路体验，这是同等价值的乘坐本身。我们将采用以人为本的方法，为邮政铁路提供无障碍和沉浸式的虚拟现实体验，并特别考虑和回应残疾游客，并可由其用户进行调整。邮政博物馆拒绝满足其目前为残疾人提供的服务。邮政博物馆和ScanLAB Projects Ltd将探讨残疾人士的需求和无障碍要求;制作设计简介;探索想法并快速开发原型;与残疾人士一起测试原型;并为研究和开发设计提供具体简介，以实现无障碍沉浸式虚拟现实体验Mail Rail。该项目将为文化领域的沉浸式虚拟现实体验提供一种新的方法和途径，专门针对残疾人。目前为文化部门开发这些项目的项目很少：这项工作反过来又会影响更普遍的沉浸式虚拟现实体验的创造。"
