A Method for Co-designing Immersive VR Environments with Users Excluded from the Main Technological Discourse

Abstract With the advent of new interfaces and modes interaction related to virtual, augmented mixed reality (VR, AR, MR) or voice user (VUI) a need explore approaches foster rapid software prototyping development emerges. Drawing from our experiences in human, cooperative, collaborative aspects engineering, based on IT-empowerment participatory design with older younger adults, we propose examine some methods, practices tools for co-designing immersive extended continuum (XR), including VR, AR VUI. In series empirical field studies examined various experimental setups stakeholders’ participation within across different steps phases process environments (IERE). this article provide an overview selected tools, that found best support communication, collaboration, cooperation among stakeholders, especially members vulnerable groups who are often excluded main technological discourse more empowerment.
