项目摘要

Virtual reality provides opportunities to enable people with disabilities into a broad range of experiences that were previously unavailable. Whether it is participation in events through virtual stadia, exploring historical buildings that are inaccessible in the physical world, or simply playing board games in a virtual room with friends who are far from home, this technology can open a world of possibilities. Barriers related to the mismatch between users' needs and preferences and the design of the VR technology could result in people with disabilities being excluded from key aspects of work, education, and leisure. However, with accessibility becoming a major issue in areas of technology innovation, and with VR still incubating as a platform for experiences, there is an opportunity to make it as inclusive as possible before it reaches maturity in the marketplace. Vision The 5-year goal of my research program is to create the design and evaluation methodologies needed to effect change in the VR marketplace so that all users can find a virtual reality environment that delivers the experiences they want to have . Challenges The challenges of reaching this goal are immense. We currently lack knowledge of what the key barriers are that keep people with disabilities from participating in virtual reality, and collecting this information from a broad range of people with disabilities is difficult given the distributed nature of the user community. This prevents us from being able to identify where there are gaps in accessible design and propose new solutions to barriers. Finally, we have no mechanisms of comparing or contrasting the experiences of people with disabilities to know if we have succeeded in working together to enable users into these virtual spaces. Objectives (1) collect data about the most prominent barriers to VR shared across the diverse groups of users with disabilities (2) collaborate with technology providers to identify existing solutions, propose new solutions, and rigorously evaluate how well those solutions meet the needs of people with disabilities (3) design and validate new measures that capture the experiences of people with disabilities with technology. Impact When successful, a collection of design portfolios demonstrating the barriers and their solutions will be available to the global design community for VR, giving options for designs that will increase inclusion in the VR space. Through cooperation with the AbleGamers Charity the results of this research will be communicated to game developers through training, social media and free online resources. Further, for the first time, we will have the ability to quantitatively measure the experience of people with disabilities with technology.  This will represent a step-change in the research space and greatly enhance the already strong reputation of Canada as a forward-thinking in accessibility.
虚拟现实为残疾人提供了机会,使他们能够获得以前无法获得的广泛体验。无论是通过虚拟体育场参与活动,探索现实世界中无法进入的历史建筑,还是与远离家乡的朋友在虚拟房间里玩棋盘游戏,这项技术都可以打开一个充满可能性的世界。用户的需求和偏好与VR技术的设计不匹配相关的障碍可能导致残疾人被排除在工作、教育和休闲的关键方面。然而,随着可访问性成为技术创新领域的一个主要问题,并且VR仍在作为一个体验平台进行孵化,在它在市场上成熟之前,有机会使其尽可能具有包容性。我的研究计划的5年目标是创建影响VR市场变化所需的设计和评估方法,以便所有用户都能找到提供他们想要的体验的虚拟现实环境。实现这一目标的挑战是巨大的。我们目前还不知道阻碍残疾人参与虚拟现实的主要障碍是什么,而且考虑到用户社区的分布式特性,从广泛的残疾人群体中收集这些信息是很困难的。这使我们无法识别无障碍设计中的差距,并提出新的解决方案。最后,我们没有机制来比较或对比残疾人的经验,以了解我们是否成功地共同努力,使用户能够进入这些虚拟空间。目标(1)收集关于不同残疾用户群体共享的VR最突出障碍的数据;(2)与技术提供商合作,确定现有解决方案,提出新的解决方案,并严格评估这些解决方案如何满足残疾人的需求;(3)设计和验证新的措施,捕捉残疾人的技术体验。当成功时,一系列展示障碍及其解决方案的设计作品集将提供给全球VR设计界,为设计提供选择,从而增加VR空间的包容性。通过与AbleGamers Charity的合作,这项研究的结果将通过培训、社交媒体和免费的在线资源传达给游戏开发者。此外,我们将第一次有能力用技术定量地衡量残疾人的体验。这将代表着研究领域的一个转变,并极大地提升加拿大作为一个具有前瞻性思维的无障碍国家的良好声誉。
