Virtual Reality for Helping the Hard of Hearing
June 16–27, 2025
Book a visit to LDDI’s Studio B Discovery Lab for this special presentation held in collaboration with the Emerging Media Lab (EML).
Explore the Enhanced Auditory Reality Simulation for Improved Mapping (EARSIM), a Virtual Reality (VR) tool created by EML that helps people with hearing loss improve their sound localization ability, thereby improving overall quality of life. This project develops a VR program to improve sound localization using a naturalistic environment with adaptive difficulty. As users improve, visual cues fade and ambient noise increases, providing clear markers of progress. It serves both as a training tool for audiologists and a way to enhance users’ quality of life.
This exhibition offers valuable insights into how technology can help address real-world accessibility challenges, demonstrating practical applications of VR in teaching and learning and inclusive design.

Poetry as a Physical Space Using AI and VR
June 16–27, 2025
Book a visit to LDDI’s Studio B Discovery Lab for this special presentation held in collaboration with the Emerging Media Lab (EML).
Experience the Procedural Poetry Funhouse, an EML project that aims to use AI and VR to reimagine poetry as a physical space, using the philosophy of play-based learning to further student understanding of poetry and the process behind it. This project explores the intersection of New Media and Creative Writing by using emerging technologies and concrete poetry to create an interactive VR experience, while also serving as a teaching tool for procedural poetry and creativity.
Participants will discover innovative approaches to integrating immersive technology into language arts education, offering fresh perspectives on how digital tools can enhance creative expression and deepen literary comprehension.
