isoc live

isoc liveOn Monday September 19 2022 at 19:30 EDT / 23:30 UTC / 08:30 JST (Sep 20) the Accessibility VR Meetup hosts ‘Accessibility in a Virtual World Before Oculus‘. Accessible virtual worlds existed before VR immersive headsets, and VR headsets aren’t for everyone, other rich environments with a lower level of technology and welcoming communities are necessary to be fully inclusive. The Virtual Ability community in Second Life has facilitated the entry into virtual worlds of people with a wide range of accessibility needs since 2007. Alice Krueger and Ann Ludwig will explain the accessibility options of the new Resident Orientation Course and Sojourner Auditorium on Second Life’s Virtual Ability island, and the platform tools and design principles that lead to an accessible virtual environment.

The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Chapter Accessibility SIG (A11ySIG).

WEBCAST Aug 10: @A11yVR – Designing for Bodies: Accessibility in VR – Richard Hoagland

by
ISOC LIVE

ISOC LIVEOn Wednesday August 10 2022 at 19:30 EDT / 23:30 UTC / 08:30 JST (Aug 11) the Accessibility VR Meetup hosts ‘Designing for Bodies: Accessibility in VR‘. Developers and designers face challenges in building accessible XR experiences when the nature of XR is an embodied experience, and many standard methods of interaction and interface require complex bodily movements. Richard Hoagland of VRTogether will work through the case study of an activity called Dot2Dot that fosters social interaction through two individuals solving a casual puzzle together – while ensuring the experience is fun and engaging for both users manipulating virtual hand switch controllers and those using gaze-based input. And importantly for the VRTogether team, supporting both interaction modalities at the same time.

The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the Internet Society New York Chapter Accessibility SIG (A11ySIG).
