By Ocean 3D - 05th June 2023

Penzance-based Ocean 3D has been shortlisted in the ‘Accessible Education’ category of the AbilityNet Tech4Good 2023 awards.

The AbilityNet Tech4Good Awards were created in 2011 to celebrate organisations and individuals who help improve the lives of others using digital technology.

Chris Wood, Director Ocean 3D, said:  “Ocean 3D engaged and consulted with a number of key stakeholders including respective schools and colleges’ SEND teams, The National Autistic Society and Plymouth University. The latter being engaged to undertake independent end-user focus groups to establish usability, needs and potential future developmental improvements to the tours. The report was compiled by Dr Nicole Thomas (Research Fellow in eHealth) and Dr Amy Rathbone (Research Assistant in eHealth).

"In addition, we used our extensive experience in creating inclusive and accessible interactive tours across other sectors including cultural, historical and transportation.”
