I recently met with a student from Southampton University who told me
that he had just recently received an additional 2 hours for an exam
so that he could use VR software. As I recall he was studying law,
but those are all the details I have (sorry, I didn't really pursue
it...).
One thing he did find was that there was a serious need for
him to take a break in the exam in order to rest his voice, and he
also had to have water on hand for sipping (although this is good
practice during dictation anyway).
