About

icdvrat.org is an independent editorial site that explains accessibility, disability and assistive technology in plain English. It covers virtual reality, virtual rehabilitation, haptic feedback, motion tracking and related tools, and it is written for students, therapists, carers, developers and people with disabilities who want to understand what exists and what the research says.

What does the site publish?

Each guide opens with a short, direct answer. It then explains the technology, sets out its typical uses and limitations, and closes with frequently asked questions and a list of sources. Technical terms such as head-mounted display, haptic feedback or brain-computer interface are explained the first time they appear.

How is the research handled?

Research findings are attributed to named authors, a year and a type of study, for example a small pilot study or a systematic review. Where a sample is small or the results are preliminary, the guide says so. Definitions are taken from bodies such as the World Health Organization, the NHS and the National Institutes of Health, and every guide links to the original source rather than reproducing it.

What this site is not

The articles give general information only. They are not medical or therapeutic advice, they do not recommend treatments or products, and they cannot replace a conversation with a qualified health professional who knows your circumstances.

How are mistakes corrected?

If a statement is wrong or out of date, it is checked against the primary source and corrected in the guide. Language aims to be person-centred, so it describes people with disabilities rather than defining people by a condition.

Independence

icdvrat.org is an independent publication. It is not affiliated with any conference, society or organisation with a similar name, nor with anyone who previously used this domain, and it does not announce events, dates or calls for papers.
