It shows how decisions made at the design stage, often invisible to non-disabled users, create barriers around vision, movement and sensory experience. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMoving beyond critique, it argues for a fundamental rethinking of VR design centring diverse bodies and minds. In doing so, it not only reframes accessibility, but expands what VR can be, and who it is truly for.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57505017201013,"sku":"9781529258431","price":29.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/the-limits-of-immersion","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
