| Summary: | Individuals with movement disability often find themselves facing
mental health issues as the lack of mobility deprives them from
social interactions and outdoor experiences. To reforge social
connections with their peers and increase nature exposure, virtual
reality is a technology that can be utilized to create an alternate
universe in the virtual space where everyone gets to rediscover
themselves again.
This report describes an application that offers solutions to the
above challenges. The main feature of the application includes an
indoor school hall for education purposes as well as an outdoor
area to engage users in various sports.
The implementation of this project is to develop a virtual reality
world that will enhance inclusivity for people with mobility issues
by providing them a safe environment to connect with their peers.
The platform provides a voice chat feature to connect people
within the community and enjoy interactive games and education
together. |
