Project 1:
We are currently working with the University of Wisconsin-Madison on developing a set of guidelines and an API for avatar customization for those with disabilities. We hope to advance the inclusivity of social Virtual Reality platforms by promoting further customization of avatars to allow for representation of the disabled community. We are currently accepting disabled Participants for our study.
“It is so important to showcase people with disabilities with intersectional identities because that allows viewers to see beyond disability….People with disabilities are multilayered—we are complex breathing human beings defined by more than just what we lack.”
