[Access Lunch] [Accessibility Lunch] - 11/4 GHC 9115 @ 11:30 AM

[Peya Mowar]

Hi everyone, For the upcoming accessibility seminar on Monday, we have  
Johann David Wentzel joining us remotely from University of Waterloo as a  
guest speaker. We will all listen in-person in GHC 9115. Here are the talk  
details: Title: Improving Virtual Reality Accessibility through  
Context-Aware Spatial Remapping Abstract: VR makes assumptions about user  
ability that might be impossible for a user with mobility limitations to  
meet, and the more gestural and motion-based input of VR means common motor  
accessibility solutions do not provide a sufficiently adaptable remedy.  
This talk discusses the results of a three-phase research path covering a  
variety of research questions within accessible spatial input. First, an  
investigation of accessible multi-modal input setups demonstrates that  
designing for input categories rather than input devices is key, due to the  
large range of customised accessibility setups. The second project, focused  
on the situational impairments experienced when switching between desktop  
and VR, demonstrates and evaluates a solution that responds to user context  
to make this cross-device input easier. The final project investigates  
individual user ranges of motion for VR, and presents a design language for  
body motion inspired by 3D geometric primitives. These motion primitives  
are used to create a solution that enables user-customisable input  
remapping in a simpler and more concise way than traditional transfer  
functions. Looking forward to the exciting talk and seeing everyone on  
Monday! Thanks and regards, Peya
