“…Moving on from critiques of VR headsets, peripherals, and related technologies, Bookman then moved onto to Step 3, inviting students to consider how software mechanics could similarly create barriers. Citing scholarship by inclusion consultants who specialize in VR such as Thomas Logan, Bookman suggested that many VR applications demanded a high degree of technical literacy and frequently lacked accessibility features like captions, audio descriptions, and color contrast options (Logan, 2021). Furthermore, developers often presumed that users had great capacities for learning, memorization, and reproduction of inputs when designing apps for work, play, and other activities.…”

Japan currently enjoys a “VR boom”, a proliferation of commercial virtual reality (VR) programs. As it pertains to disability studies, however, we observe troubling ableist and assimilatory tendencies such as a VR tool for implicit bias training for medical practitioners that promises “simulated experiences” of disabled people, or a VR vocational coaching tool designed to teach disabled people social scripts in professional settings. This article cautions against such stifling and one-dimensional approaches to disability and instead offers more expansive and transformative VR usage based on the creative and pedagogical practices the authors engage with: 1) a VR co-creation approach which revolves around disabled content creators and developers who forge disability-centered community spaces, and 2) a VR intersectional education approach which invites students – regardless of their disability status – to identify their interrelated struggles in an ableist, cisheteronormative, and patriarchal society, realizing their political responsibility for nurturing inclusivity with disabled community members.

Purpose of Review This review summarizes and provides a comprehensive narrative synthesis of the current evidence on immersive technology's (i.e., virtual and augmented Reality) use for perioperative anxiety, acute, and chronic pain in pediatrics. Recent Findings Researchers have increasingly studied immersive technology as a non-pharmacological alternative for perioperative anxiety, acute, and chronic pain management. We found several research studies published over the last 3 years: almost all studies examined the use of virtual reality for perioperative anxiety and pain; only one case report was about the use of augmented reality for preoperative anxiety. Most studies showed that virtual reality intervention is effective and safe for perioperative anxiety, acute, and chronic pain. However, the studies are heterogeneous with relatively small sample sizes. Summary This review shows that more high-quality studies (i.e., randomized controlled trials with larger sample sizes and standardized methods for measuring and reporting outcomes) are needed to examine the effectiveness and adverse effects of virtual reality intervention on perioperative anxiety, acute, and chronic pain in pediatrics.
