Joshua is a PhD student from Loughborough University (UK) investigating the integration of assistive technology (AT) into extended reality (XR) and how assistive products can be combined with XR to expand access to engineering education across multiple disciplines. Examining inclusive practices and integration of new assistive products to facilitate greater interaction options for people with physical disabilities and the integration of large language models (LLM) as an assistive technology in immersive learning environments, where it can support accessibility of people with diverse cognitive needs. Evaluating technical feasibility, pedagogical value to inform best practices, and potential to reduce barriers for learners in engineering disciplines.
