I provided access consultancy on the Immersive Arts project, ‘Joining the Dots: Connecting the UK’s immersive production facilities with the arts and culture sector.’
Working with specialists from the disabled community, we provided advice on data collection methods, and design and operation of the user interface for The Immersive Arts Directory, providing written, image based, and video reports on the database prototypes and final product.
The project research focussed on three main questions:
- What is known about existing needs and ambitions of those working in the immersive arts and culture sector?
- What immersive production facilities currently exist in the UK and what do they provide?
- What are the challenges and opportunities in connecting these different parts of the ecosystem, and how can a resilient, inclusive and creatively ambitious sector be developed to support sustainable growth?
The recently published report includes key data, findings and actionable recommendations for what could come next, alongside the searchable UK-wide map of immersive production facilities. This is a free-to-access resource that supports creatives to find out what kinds of facilities are available; where they are, what they offer in terms of technology and support and detailed information about the accessibility of the spaces.
