SUMMARY:How Inclusive Design Enhances the Customer Experience
DESCRIPTION:On Tuesday\, May 11th at 10:00am PST / 1:00pm EST\,  VRARA LA will host an online event exploring VR/AR and Accessibility. \nHow Inclusive Design Enhances the Customer Experience \nREGISTER HERE \nModerator\nJoe Devon\, Co-Founder Global Accessibility Awareness Day + Co-Founder\, Diamond \nPanelists\nMatt King\, Accessibility Specialist in UI Engineering at Facebook \nChristopher Patnoe\, Head of Accessibility Programs and Disability Inclusion\, Google \nRegine Gilbert\, XR Access \nAndreas Forsland\, Founder\, CEO\, Cognixion \nAbout the Webinar\nApproximately 15 percent of the world’s population have a disability\, according to the World Health Organization\, which means that more than one billion people could face daily challenges when using digital products. When designers and developers think of their end user\, do they have inclusive design in mind? Given that immersive technology faces its own adoption challenges\, what should be considered when building inclusive experiences\, and can accessibility actually enhance a customer’s experience? \nOur panel will walk you through what to consider when building an XR experience with inclusive design in mind. They will guide attendees through a user’s journey and discuss a key element that Inclusive Design brings: Ease of Use. Inclusive design not only makes your product available to the accessibility community\, but enhances the overall customer experience to make your product scale. \nWebsite: www.thevrara.com/la-chapter \n  \n

SUMMARY:Beyond Zoom: XR For Teaching and Research in the COVID-19 Era
DESCRIPTION:Conference on applying remote teaching experiences from COVID-19 to future XR-enabled classes.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout this Event\n\n\nA Virtual Conference – Friday\, August 7\, 2020\, 10AM-4PM (EDT/UTC-4) \nRegistration closes August 5 at noon \nProgram: http://dartgo.org/covid-xr-conf \nRecent large scale engagement with remote learning has brought to the fore the challenges of teaching and learning in an online environment. While technologies like videoconferencing and learning management systems have drawn a great deal of critical review and pedagogical development\, we can also apply the lessons of higher education’s sudden foray into mass remote teaching to other types of tools. In particular\, XR–a catch-all term including augmented and virtual reality\, as well as related technologies for spatial and pervasive computing–holds both great potential and challenges for educational use under pandemic conditions. \nThis virtual conference will explore areas where XR can mitigate the challenges of engaging with students remotely as well as investigate new opportunities to apply XR technologies across remote\, face-to-face\, or hybrid environments. In particular\, are there opportunities to use XR to help teach within or across disciplines such as laboratory science\, clinical education\, studio art\, fieldwork\, or other object- and place-based teaching. This even will be built around brief (5-minute) presentations that will be organized into sessions to seed generative discussions as part of a day-long event. \nSend Questions to covid.xr.conf@gmail.com \nHOSTS \nInformation\, Technology\, and Consulting; The Neukom Institute; Film and Media Studies @ Dartmouth College \nOnline Learning Initiative @ University of Pennsylvania

SUMMARY:A Guided Tour of the UCLA Simulation Center - Learning Resource Center\, A-Level
DESCRIPTION:The mission of the UCLA Simulation Center is to improve patient safety and advance healthcare education through deliberate practice\, interprofessional team training\, and innovative research using multimodal simulations. \nThe UCLA Simulation Center gratefully acknowledges Maxine and Eugene Rosenfeld\, whose generosity has helped UCLA maintain its role as a leader in this technology. UCLA was among the first institutions to integrate simulation technology\, which has now become a standard for medical education\, surgical training and health care team training. Such programs have resulted in improved performance\, quicker response time\, and less deviation from practice standards. Healthcare simulators increase trainee confidence and competence\, improve patient safety\, and can also yield cost and process efficiencies. UCLA’s Simulation Training Program has grown steadily to meet a growing list of educational objectives within the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA and its affiliated partners and schools thanks in large part to the vision and commitment of Maxine and Gene.

SUMMARY:Open House: Shattuck Lab\, Multiuser Virtual Reality Environment for Visualizing Neuroimaging Data - NRB225
DESCRIPTION:Dr David Shattuck will be demonstrating a virtual reality environment that’s been developed for interactive visualization of neuroimaging data. His system uses the HTC Vive to present a room-sized virtual experience for data exploration and can currently accommodate four simultaneous users. Though still an early work\, it offers a new way of exploring structural and diffusion MRI of the brain. In particular\, his framework provides interactive visualization of volumetric MRI\, surface models\, tensor glyphs\, and streamline tractography. The system can also be used to explore imaging data of other anatomical structures. More information on this system can be found in his recent paper\, “Multiuser Virtual Reality Environment for Visualizing Neuroimaging Data”(http://dx.doi.org/10.1049/htl.2018.5077). \n \nThe lab is on the 2nd floor of NRB at the top of the stairs from the lobby. They are behind a set of double doors. If you are facing the doors\, there is an intercom on the right. Press the red button to be let into the lab. The VR demo will be in the theater\, which is just to the right of the entrance.

SUMMARY:VR Showcase: UCLA Game Lab\, Broad Art Center Room 3252
DESCRIPTION:Is VR revolutionary or is it hype? As with any form of emerging technology\, high expectations tend to detract from the experience itself; and VR experiences that ARE mainstream enough\, often disappoint users. Let’s put aside “the future is now” argument and focus on the content that actually shows the bold spirit of innovation among independent artists that haven’t had a chance to share their work. This mini showcase is an exclusive selection of unique under the radar VR experiences. Dive into a day of narrative worlds\, social media cultures\, immersive designs\, game theory\, and transmedia activism!
