Designing a collaborative virtual reality system to assess social inclusion among neurodiverse students

The following article presents a collaborative VR system designed to assess social inclusion among neurodiverse students. Students can join virtual environments to communicate and collaborate in a virtual supermarket shopping trip. A virtual classroom is developed in which students can be introduced to their task and the basic concepts of shopping. An overview of related literature in inclusion research is presented and used to discuss how the VR system can be used in future studies to measure social inclusion.
