Session: Fostering Inclusivity in VR
VR has the power to change how people feel and react. It is critically important that VR applications become more inclusive and accessible for everyone. To help foster inclusivity in VR, we will go over a set of recommendations that we hope will help developers design applications that are accessible and can be experienced by all people. In this talk, we will go over some of the ways in which we as developers can design experiences that are more accessible and work collectively towards a more empathetic and welcoming future.Key Takeaways
- Design VR applications keeping accessibility in mind.
- Broaden the audience for your application, by incorporating the needs of more people.
- Give your players the agency to choose how they want to interact with your application.
