Understand and make others understand: Operationalizing an immersive design fiction tool to promote social participation by deaf people
This project was born out of a need expressed by the Association du Québec pour enfants avec problèmes auditifs (AQEPA) for a technological solution that would more effectively raise awareness of the sensory reality of young people with hearing loss, both for their families and for the professionals who work with them.
The aim of this project is to make the situation of deafness tangible and comprehensible, through the experience of an immersive fictional design tool, with the aim of raising awareness of the communication challenges faced by people living with deafness, to encourage their social participation.
More specifically, the project aims to improve the existing design fiction tool and expand its use for different population groups, with a view to facilitating its transferability in the future.
Backed by a multi-sectoral team and a social innovation approach, this research-creation project will be carried out in partnership with AQEPA and in active collaboration with people with experiential knowledge.
