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

这个英日知识交流和研究网络由社会科学、设计和计算领域的学者组成，与商业合作伙伴合作，专注于为儿童提供基于位置的VR体验。它满足了娱乐、教育和医疗等一系列行业对儿童基于位置的VR体验的需求。它建立在新的研究结果的基础上，这些研究结果表明，特定于情景的体验正在演变为下一代沉浸式体验。这笔资金将用于联系在这一领域工作的关键利益相关者，整合知识，开始探索性研究，并建立研究儿童使用VR的最佳方法。在这样做的过程中，该网络将建立能够在实地产生实际影响的可持续途径。为此，将开展一系列知识交流活动，以确定哪些是已知的，并确定需要推进的最基本的研究和开发领域，以便为儿童提供吸引人的和安全的基于位置的虚拟现实体验。

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.
