Virtual reality has emerged as an effective tool for educational and research purposes. It provides an efficient means of replicating behaviors that cannot be easily reproduced for people to experience. In this paper, we focus on visual impairments and implement and test a virtual application as an effective tool for increasing awareness of non-visible disabilities. We evaluated the results on 52 participants split in control and experimental groups. Results show differences between the answers that suggest positive effects on virtual environments.

摘要

Virtual reality has emerged as an effective tool for educational and research purposes. It provides an efficient means of replicating behaviors that cannot be easily reproduced for people to experience. In this paper, we focus on visual impairments and implement and test a virtual application as an effective tool for increasing awareness of non-visible disabilities. We evaluated the results on 52 participants split in control and experimental groups. Results show differences between the answers that suggest positive effects on virtual environments.
