Goal:
Gamers have difficulty playing games because of lack of mobility, vision, or senses. It's challenging to tackle, but is necessary and fun. This is to raise awareness about persons' with disabilities in VR. Everyone loves VR so let's make it that everyone can join!
Difficulties:
Many people with disabilities would love to join VR, but not enough games are accessible. People often have mobility issues. One example is someone with Muscular Dystrophy will typically have trouble raising there hand above their head. It's important to design games to be more accessible. Accessibility can come in many forms. Some have made a tool kit(SeeingVR), or a tool like WalkinVR. You can find them down below!
