SXSW 2020
The Future is Accessible - Accessibility in XR
Description:
Today, XR is redefining what we consider reality, and creating the potential for entirely new mediums and means of expression. This paradigm-shifting technology allows users to experience entire worlds or alter their perceptions of reality. For XR technology to reach its full potential, it needs to be accessible. As we develop VR, AR, and other spatial computing experiences we have the opportunity to create technologies that are accessible from the start.
Hear from industry experts, academics, and creators on the current state of accessibility in XR and what we can do to ensure the future of XR is for everyone.
