Objectives

The aim is introducing VR technology into the education of visually impaired students by qualifying training staff. This improves the situation of visually impaired people to increase their personal mobility. Although Article 20 of the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities requires access to mobility training, this is not regulated or available everywhere in the EU Member States. The use of VR technology would enable this training, in a protected and controlled environment.
