Senior Accessibility Consultant at AbilityNet, Raphael Clegg-Vinell, offers an introduction to VR and looks at some of the ways it could transform the lives of people with disabilities. It's already being used by people with visual impairments, strokes and dementia and could have life-changing possibilities for people with many other disabilities.
The webinar will be of interest to anyone with an interest in how technology can help people with disabilities, as well as anyone developing VR applications. It does not require any existing knowledge of VR and it will include an opportunity to ask questions.
