Desarrollo de un Metaverso inclusivo para la integración de aplicaciones de realidad virtual en el área de programación para la accesibilidad al conocimiento en la Uniagustiniana.

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to develop an Inclusive Metaverse that integrates virtual reality applications to foster inclusion and interaction between students with and without hearing impairments in the Software Development Technology program at Uniagustiniana. This virtual environment, created in Unity, seeks to promote educational equity through immersive, collaborative experiences adapted to the diverse learning needs of students, thus facilitating the understanding of various types of content.

The proposed metaverse includes interactive portals, a multiplayer system, avatar customization, and the Oracle, an artificial intelligence model designed to answer questions related to object-oriented programming (POO). These features strengthen interaction, communication, and participation within the virtual environment, offering an accessible, innovative, and motivating educational experience for all students. Together, this proposal provides a different, more accessible, and dynamic way of learning that helps overcome learning difficulties and fosters spaces where all students can participate on equal terms.
