Make Create Play

with Caroline McGlone

Tags: technology, research, experience, education, play

Caroline McGlone is an increadibly determined and thoughtful accessible needs researcher.

She has created a couple of workshops centered on promoting more accessible design thinking for immersive experiences, along with Immersive & Design consultant Yan Soar and XR Creative Technologist Julia Ronneberger .

I’ve been able to assist the project in a few small ways that I’d like to share here.

I created a short animated introduction that explained the essance of why the particapnts of the workshop were present - to speculate on the potential new designs of immersive technology and technoques that could answer their access needs, in the context of play.

In the first of the two workshops, I did this talk on the fly and ended up rambling a bit due to a combination of social anxiety and not being prepared enough.

Creating this short intro solved both of those issues and I was able to contribute a valuable slice of insight that helped provoke discussion during the workshop.
