IDB QUITO – INCLUSION AND ROAD SAFETY

The following video reflects the complex reality of road users who need to move around daily in different cities in Latin America and the Caribbean, facing barriers and obstacles that disable their mobility.

The 360-3D video was shot in july in the city of Quito (Ecuador) by the IRALTA VR team. The VR experience was presented in the Annual Meeting of the Boards of Governors of the IDB rouled in Guayaquil, Ecuador. In this VR experience the user can move around the city of Quito with our protagonists: Margarita, Abu, Marco, Andrea, Pablo, Klever... and empathize with the inhabitants of the city and their mobility problems.

The original concept of universal design applied to transport suggests designing systems that are accessible and safe for all, particularly elderly, children and persons with disabilities.

Our protagonist dreams that there will come a day when everyone regardless of age, or having a disability can move freely around the city. Would we be able to fulfill this dream?
