Description
Summary:By immersing students in simulated environments that replicate the challenges faced by people with disabilities, the goal is to cultivate heightened levels of empathy, fostering a deeper understanding of universal design principles. The comprehensive examination of the HMD selection process, application development using Unity, and the instructional approach provides practical insights that educators and developers can utilise when implementing similar VR applications. Apple Apple has recently announced plans to enter the VR market with a premium VR HMD and later, a pair of AR glasses. [...]as newer headsets enter the market, the Valve Index is gradually losing popularity.
