Social Justice – relationship between social justice and VR related technology (artificial intelligence, extended intelligence, etc)
Immersive technology can be used as an assistive technology as shown by the many examples in the lecture. AcclimateVR (2016) creates every day scenarios for those with autism, or other special needs, to learn how to handle every day life situations. GestureTek HEALTH (2016-) creates games for physiotherapy to make the experience more enjoyable for the patient whilst still continuing with their treatments.
There are many more examples of assistive technology in the world but you really don’t realise just how many there are, or how advanced they may be unless you are specifically looking for them.
Sometimes you may see an assistive technology in a movie, but the likelihood is the tech has been falsified in either its advancement or pretty much anything else about it. So viewers of the movie pass it off as fake and for plot without realising it could be a real thing, possibly one they might want/need.
