Is VR inherently inaccessible?

What Is Accessibility? #a11y

When something is accessible, a person with a disability can (to the greatest extent possible):

  • acquire the same information,
  • engage in the same interactions,
  • and enjoy the same services as a person without a disability,
  • with substantially equivalent ease of use.

Take Action

Binary Input

  • single button control
  • binary input frequencies: on/off - short/long/continuous
  • mapped with the W3C standard Gamepad API to enable

Discussion

  • How can we progressively enhance the XR experience?
  • What do HMI & Ergonomics teach us better than flat GUIs?
  • Can Assistive Technologies guide us to interaction standards?
