Location-based Virtual Reality experiences for children: Japan-UK knowledge exchange network

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

This UK-Japan knowledge exchange and research network consists of academics in the fields of social sciences, design and computing working alongside commercial partners to focus on location-based VR experiences for children. It responds to a demand for location-based VR experiences for children in a range of sectors that include entertainment, education and health. It builds on emerging research findings that suggest that context specific experiences are evolving as the next generation of immersive experiences. The funding will be used to link key stakeholders working in this area, join up knowledge, begin exploratory research, and establish the best methodologies for studying children's use of VR. In doing so the network will establish sustainable pathways that can make real impact in the field. This will be done by undertaking a series of knowledge exchange activities to identify what is known and establish the most essential areas of research and development that need to be taken forward in order to produce engaging and safe location-based VR experiences for children.
