The project "Social and Physical Inclusion of Paraplegic Youth by Using Virtual Reality", shortly VR4Inclusion, aims to empower young people with disabilities both socially and physically.
Three VR paralympic sport games Handcycling, Boccia and Sledge Hockey were produced by Bahcesehir University BUG Lab in Istanbul, Turkey. The game titles were selected based on the focus groups and interviews with young people with disabilities. Those meetings were conducted with the support of, Tyrtaois Sports Club in Athens, International Association of Spinal Cord Paralysis in Ankara and Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, in coordination of Bahcesehir University Faculty of Educational Sciences and KIO.
Play testing was conducted as a part of a social inclusion event in Istanbul, in which disabled young people participated as well as non-disabled people, who got together to play the games and share their opinions.
