360 walk-throughs and video can be a valuable tool for documenting accessibility challenges and supporting funding applications.
Here are some ways in which 360 walk-throughs can be beneficial:
- Visual Evidence - They provide a visual record of the environment, highlighting specific accessibility issues such as narrow doorways, uneven surfaces, or lack of signage.
- Lived Experience - We use really people who are disabled to record their individual challenges whether they be wheelchair users or a blind person.
- Detailed Documentation - 360 walk-throughs and video can capture more details than traditional photographs or descriptions, offering a comprehensive understanding of the space.
- Efficiency - They can save time and effort compared to traditional site visits, allowing for quicker assessment of accessibility needs.
- Persuasive Tool - Visual evidence can be more persuasive in funding applications, helping to demonstrate the need for accessibility improvements.
In this video we worked with a career and wheelchair user. The building has a horrendous contraption to get a wheelchair user onto the ground floor.
The first floor is not usable for wheelchair users as there is no way to gain access.
