Download as PPTX, PDF1 like824 views
The document discusses a virtual reality-based vocabulary learning environment developed for visually-impaired learners, emphasizing sound engineering through 3D-acoustics technology. It details the design and development process, including features like immersive worlds and adaptive navigation to enhance vocabulary acquisition. The pilot study indicates that the project is still in progress, aiming to improve vocabulary teaching methods for this demographic.

- 2. The Inspiration 01 Just because I’m blind, and unable to see your beauty, doesn't mean it does not exist.
- 4. A vocabulary learning virtual environment where the emphasis is on its sound engineering, utilising the 3D-acoustic (binaural) technology. 03 Connecting the dots
- 5. 5 Developmental Research Define (Participatory team) Design & Develop (Cooperative Inquiry) Disseminate (Final adjustments) Refer to Jerry Willis' R2D2 model of Instructional Design http://etec.ctlt.ubc.ca/510wiki/The_R2D2_Model_of_Instructional_Design 04
- 6. 05 The Binaural Recording Tool
- 7. 06 The Flow
- 8. 07 The Main Features 3D acoustics – Each learning environment (worlds) is immersive. Contextualised VR worlds – Vocabulary is learnt in context Adaptive control – Leaners can navigate according to their choice
- 9. 08 Nature Objects Directions Concepts The Word Coverage Words are filtered and shortlisted from several corpora relevant to first-year university studies.
- 11. We’re just touching the tip of the iceberg. Still a work in progress 10
