Accessible Gaming and Immersive Experiences with Belén Agulló García

Belén always felt passionate about video games and learning languages. She also knew she wanted to do something in the gaming industry.

She entered the language industry as soon as she graduated from college and started to work in a game localization company as a linguist and project manager. But that wasn't enough, so she decided to obtain an MA in Audiovisual Translation. But that chapter of her life came to an end when she decided to quit to pursue a new and more motivating challenge: get a Ph.D. in multimedia accessibility.

So she moved from Madrid to Barcelona and developed her thesis on subtitling in virtual reality that she obtained with distinctions. This experience was life-changing, and she could finally understand the importance of accessibility and found a new motivation in life: fight to make fun accessible for everybody. Games were so important for her development as a human being, and why shouldn't games be accessible for everybody?
