Want to play games to help us understand how we can make mixed reality more inclusive and accessible?
Sky and Reflex Arc, with the XR Stories project at the University of York, are investigating how to design more accessible and inclusive experiences for diverse users. We have designed a new mixed reality game and are taking expressions of interest to be a user tester.
Who are we looking to participate? We are initially recruiting individuals who are hard of hearing, blind or partially sighted.
When? Leeds: October 10th-14th, York: October (Dates TBC). You will be contacted to book a specific time and date – sessions take approximately an hour.
What will I have to do?
Go to Eventbrite and register your interest. The researchers will then get in contact to organise a session and go through the formal paperwork for the study.
You will then be invited to Sky’s UX Lab in Leeds or the University of York’s Labs in York. These spaces are like a living room and you will get to play around with some new mixed reality TV technology. The researcher will then have a chat about what you thought of the game (what worked, what didn’t, would you use technology like this again?).
