The First Workshop on XR Accessibility
Bobby Bodenheimer, Gerd Bruder, Dylan Fox, Anne‐Hélène Olivier, Jeanine K. Stefanucci, Greg Welch, Daniel Zielasko · 2025
This workshop is the outgrowth of a Dagstuhl seminar (24371) held in September 2024 on Extended Reality Accessibility. The workshop brought together researchers, advocates, and other stakeholders to address concerns around accessibility in extended reality (XR). XR technologies are evolving rapidly, and have the potential to redefine communication and learning in the future. Ensuring that this evolution considers accessibility should be a primary design criterion for XR, as retroactive design is never as effective.
