Virtual Reality has set itself the challenge of emulating our physical experiences in an immersive, digital environment. To achieve this, VR software is required to 'read' and interpret the human form in order to replicate our movements. To 'read' the human form, the software needs to be told what to 'look' for - in other words, software developers have to define what the human form is. This has led to the development of products that simply do not work for many Users, particularly those with disabilities. In turn, this is contributing to a dangerous re-emerging narrative surrounding eugenics in the world of cutting edge technology.
