C-TACT vision
The assistive teaching tool of Tomorrow
The
Problem
QUT’s current teaching model has little to no consideration of the needs of its disabled students, with physical classrooms often proving a challenge to attend. The unintended discrimination has created a disconnect between disabled students and their fellow students and teachers, as well as limiting access to quality education. While virtual classes have been introduced as an alternative to on campus teaching, the lack of accessibility in the presentation of a digital classroom does not meet special needs.
The Solution
C-TACT is a new form of assistive technology that aims to reshape the learning experience of QUT's impaired students, to suit their needs. Being part of a new wearable fashion line C-TACT operates by connecting users through augmented reality regardless of distance.
Values
Quality
Pushing for AR teaching, course content has the freedom to be audio, visual or written format, allowing for content to fit student needs.
Presence
Through augmented reality meetings, impaired students can still have a tangible presence through avatars.
