MSE MHS need your help!

They're looking for volunteers aged 11 and over to help them to create and watch virtual reality videos. Participants must also be autistic or have mild/moderate learning disabilities.

The study will involve participants attending co-production sessions to tell them what scenarios they would like to see, followed by a period of time spent watching the videos with virtual reality headsets, and then a feedback session at the end of the project as well. The project will be taking place over the entirety of 2024.
