Desarrollo de la Versión candidata en realidad virtual para la accesibilidad en el aprendizaje de estudiantes sordos y oyentes (Caso Lógica de Programación)

Abstract

The central purpose of the project, titled “Development of the candidate version in virtual reality for accessibility in learning for deaf and hearing students (Programming Logic Case)”, is to create an interactive experience in virtual reality that addresses the challenges of accessibility to knowledge of people with hearing disabilities in relation to the area of technology and computer science, more specifically in programming logic. Our focus is on the development of this experience, which will allow people to interact with the content in an immersive and accessible way. The key question that this project seeks to answer is how virtual reality can be harnessed to improve accessibility to knowledge in the community at large and also how it can be transformed into a powerful tool for both individuals with and without hearing impairments people who are interested in learning programming, providing support in their learning processes and knowledge acquisition. This project aims to provide a broader understanding through the gamification technique of virtual reality as a potential solution and learning option available to hearing impaired users. For example, how these users can find employment in the technology industry or acquire the ability to fend for themselves. Throughout this report, we will detail the tools and methodology (SUM) used for the development of this candidate version, which allowed to execute within the established times each of the tasks complying with the defined parameters. In addition, a superficial view on the use of controls and specific parameters is provided so that users can experiment, make decisions that influence the way they access and assimilate knowledge. The initiative seeks to provide a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by the hearing impaired and to offer alternative solutions that benefit both students and ordinary people who are interested in understanding how programming logic works, allowing for a more inclusive and effective learning experience in the virtual reality (VR) environment.
