(taxes and fees included)Extended Reality (XR) technology has the potential to revolutionize how different minds and bodies experience content and interact with the world. However, as this technology becomes more prevalent, creators, producers and exhibitors face a responsibility : not perpetuating the barriers that are present in the physical world into virtualized environments. Accessible XR design fosters experiences that can be tested, enjoyed and enriched by people of all abilities and identities.
This panel brings together XR, gaming, and accessibility experts to explore challenges and opportunities to how usability is currently being approached in XR, expanding on the connecting thread between design and innovation. Topics will include new formats and tools, as well as inclusive infrastructure and frameworks that can accelerate accessibility within the XR space. Participants include Founding Director and Research Scientist of MIT Open Documentary Lab Sarah Wolozin, user experience designer, educator and author Reginé Albert along with Senior Technical Program Manager for Accessibility at Xbox, James Berg.
The main Forum Room activities in English will be simultaneously transcribed live by the artificial intelligence application Colibri.ai (this concerns panels, presentations, Q&A and keynotes) for any attendees who will benefit from this accessibility feature.
