Virtual Reality Offers More Than Games

 

New Mobility is the member publication of United Spinal Association, which is dedicated to empowering people with spinal cord injuries and related disabilities to live successful and fulfilling lives.  Their website offers many helpful articles 


 

The article Virtual Reality Offers More Than Games, by  describes her experience with using Virtual Reality as a wheelchair user.

"I had a lot of questions for this developer. Would I be able to use a VR headset sitting down? How much could I enjoy relying mainly on one hand, since my right hand is very weak due to multiple sclerosis? How easy would it be to find family-friendly apps that the three of us could play together? Would my disability interfere at all with my enjoyment of virtual reality? After using my headset for several months with my children, I can confidently report that VR is something many wheelchair users and people with disabilities can benefit from and enjoy."
