The venue is fully accessible for wheelchair users, with accessible toilets at the front of the building.
How the VR experience works for different accessibility requirements:
For Visually impaired audience members - one of our experience hosts will act as a guide, leading you through the physical installation and then guiding you in the VR. This means that they will weae the VR headset and do the ‘seeing’ and interacting with virtual objects, whilst the audience member who is visually impaired hears and feels the experience through headphones and a haptic vest called a subpac.
For audience members who are d/Deaf or hard of hearing - we can offer the hosts ‘onboarding scripts’ as printed documents during the walk through of the installation. When in the VR we can activate subtitles so that the story is explained in text as well as dialogue.
For audience members who are wheelchair users and for those who want or need to sit - we can activate a version of the experience that allows you to traverse the virtual environments using a ‘teleport’ function. Using a simple joystick style controller, the audience member will be able to move around the spaces and rotate their point of view, interacting and experiencing the film without having to be on their feet. Stools & seats will be available.
