I spent too long trying to pick the 'right' disability to focus on instead of just picking one and going deep.
Start by clarifying the scope: which disabilities, what platform, and what business goal. Then segment users by disability type and prioritize a specific need where VR offers unique value. Finally, design a solution with clear features, metrics, and go-to-market considerations.
Pro tip: Emphasize accessibility as a driver of innovation, not just compliance—features like spatial audio and haptic feedback benefit all users. Also, mention the importance of co-designing with the disability community to ensure real-world usability.
Ask clarifying questions to define the target disability segment, VR platform (e.g., standalone, mobile), and success metrics. This shows structured thinking and avoids boiling the ocean.
Segment users by disability type (e.g., visual, auditory, motor, cognitive) and identify their unique challenges and goals. Prioritize a segment where VR can provide a differentiated solution.
Brainstorm features that leverage VR's immersive capabilities to address the prioritized needs. Consider modalities like spatial audio, haptics, eye tracking, and voice control.
Evaluate ideas based on impact, feasibility, and alignment with Google's mission. Define a minimum viable product (MVP) that delivers core value and can be tested with users.
Define success metrics (e.g., task completion rate, user satisfaction, engagement) and outline a go-to-market strategy, including partnerships with disability organizations and accessibility certifications.
