Title
Extended Reality for Refugees - Pragmatic Ideas through Ethnographic Research with Refugees in Australia.
Abstract
Extended reality has been used in various application areas creating societal impact including in health, education, and the arts. However, there has not been enough research to help alleviate the issues of refugees around the world using extended reality applications. In this paper, we focus on identifying issues that refugees face in Australia and how extended reality application can be designed to support in resolving those issues. We followed an ethnographic research approach that involved a semi-structured interview, participatory design, and speculative design approach where we recruited 30 people who arrived in Australia as refugees and currently finding ways to settle in the country. Our research identified three key issues that refugees face-post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the information-seeking problem, and cultural adjustment in the host community. We discuss how extended reality applications can support the refugees in Australia and elsewhere in the world in each of the three issues.
