And for millions of people with subtle or severe balance impairments, VR can become not only frustrating, but inaccessible because VR disrupts their balance further. To help users maintain stability, research at Kennesaw State University is aiming to make VR technology more accessible for all people, especially those with balance impairments.

A game that began as a class project is now headed to digital storefront as the most recent release from the Kennesaw State University Game Studio. Chiba, which was released May 30 on Steam, is a 2D box-pusher style puzzle game where the user plays as a “chef dog,” traversing different culinary-themed levels and pushing food-themed boxes around until players solve a puzzle allowing them to progress to the next level.

Kennesaw State University senior Kaden Buford likes being hands-on with exercise science, immersing in a clinical environment and helping people heal from injuries. Her classmate Kayla Anderson, on the other hand, prefers research, delving into the scientific “why” using data, experiments, and observation. Together, they form a formidable team of exercise science majors studying effective measures of muscle function and supporting each other both in and out of the lab. Recently, they worked together on three research projects, and Anderson presented her findings at the spring Symposium of Student Scholars.

Imani Adenuga can’t recall the exact moment science grabbed her by the heart, but she has always been inquisitive in nature, seeking knowledge no matter the subject area. “I always want to know the why,” said Adenuga, who studies chemistry in the College of Science and Mathematics. “I think that just goes with science—figuring out the why of things or what makes things happen.” The First-Year Scholar dove into research immediately upon arrival at KSU last fall, landing in the lab of chemistry professor Daniela Tapu where she took on a project involving sustainable catalysts. It constituted a huge leap for a freshman, given that the project is grounded in organic chemistry, a critical class for chemistry majors that she hasn’t taken yet.
