Disability activism and the politics of scale
Get PDFIn this paper, we examine the role of spatial scale in
mediating and shaping political struggles between
disabled people and the state. Specifically, we draw
on recent theoretical developments concerning the
social construction of spatial scale to interpret two
case studies of disability activism within Canada and
Ireland. In particular, we provide an analysis of how
successful the disability movement in each locale has
been at 'jumping scale' and enacting change, as well
as examining what the consequences of such
scaling-up have been for the movement itself. We
demonstrate that the political structures operating
in each country markedly affect the scaled nature of
disability issues and the effectiveness of political
mobilization at different scales
Motion Rail: A Virtual Reality Level Crossing Training Application
Get PDFThis paper presents the development and usability testing of a Virtual Reality (VR) based system named 'Motion Rail' for training children on railway crossing safety. The children are to use a VR head mounted device and a controller to navigate the VR environment to perform a level crossing task and they will receive instant feedback on pass or failure on a display in the VR environment. Five participants consisting of two male and three females were considered for the usability test. The outcomes of the test was promising, as the children were very engaging and will like to adopt this training approach in future safety training
