{"title":"Mementorium: Designing for playful and interactive learning about gender and sexuality-based marginalization","authors":"Dylan Paré, Scout Windsor, John Craig","doi":"10.1145/3450615.3464544","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1145/3450615.3464544","url":null,"abstract":"Mementorium is a heartfelt story about identity and belonging told through a virtual reality (VR) branching narrative. Mementorium’s design builds upon our previous designs and research on queer reorientations to computing and queer approaches to embodied learning in VR. The design is accomplished through the branching narrative, which supports listening to marginalized experiences and emotional co-construction of the story, and through the interaction design, which encourages play and embodied learning and centers authentic practices of belonging and becoming. This paper introduces Mementorium’s narrative and interaction design and research that informed the design. Mementorium is an approximately 30-minute single-player, room-scale interactive VR experience intended for a general audience to learn about gender and sexuality-based marginalization in science and technology.","PeriodicalId":439895,"journal":{"name":"ACM SIGGRAPH 2021 Immersive Pavilion","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132321670","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
