Description
Summary:Dear Readers, We are delighted to present the Medycyna Pracy - Virtual Reality issue showcasing the outcomes of a collaborative project Mixed Reality on Universal Designs Secret Service (Mr. UD) that brought together 5 teams from Lodz University of Technology (Poland), University of Aveiro (Portugal), Polytechnic of Porto (Portugal), University of Tartu (Estonia), and Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine in Łódź (Poland), who joined forces to address the issues of universal design while leveraging the power of mixed reality technologies. What we found out was that there was a pressing need to increase awareness and knowledge of universal design as well as to empower future engineers, teachers, and designers with necessary competences to put ideas of accessible universal design into their practice. [...]in the course of the project, it turned out that a much broader group could benefit from understanding and empathizing - academic staff, architects, city planners, as well as businesses and public offices.
