Great weekend at the real-world lab! We took part in the KIT Open Day 2025 and presented our work around accessible virtual reality and games for children to interested visitors. We also invited them to particpate in our research by trying out our game prototypes.

On 13th March, 2025, Zeynep Yildiz, Anna-Lena Meiners and Nicolas Walter were the guests of the “Social Design Studio” Course by the Futurewell Research Group from Koc University, Istanbul, Turkey. As part of the lecture on the accessibility of arts and culture institutions, they talked about their projects on museum accessibility with Natural History Museum and ZKM in Karlsruhe, presenting their research process and initial results.

In this talk, Dr. Zeynep Yildiz, a postdoc researcher from HCI&Accessibility Research Group, will present the initial findings of a research project that aims to understand the studentship experiences of disabled students at KIT. This research specifically questions how disabled students (not) use technologies to navigate higher education and how this affects their studentship experience. The event will take place on 26th of March from 2:15 p.m. to 4:45 p.m. in 50.28 Room 201.
