I am interested to learn about the experience of those persons with
Left Learning Disability (L.L.D.) who explore virtual worlds.  I do
not claim to know much about L.L.D.  However my understanding is that
individuals with L.L.D. exhibit the following pertinent
uncontrollable, and seemingly random behavior: impaired ability to
discriminate left from right; spatial disorientation.  Obviously, one
would expect that such behavior could contribute to a disturbing VR
experience.

Any leads to information that you provide will be greatly appreciated.
