Dylan Fox: How to Make XR Accessible for Everyone — Vision, Hearing, and Motor Disabilities in VR & AR | Episode 49

Brain Shaman

Dylan Fox is the Director of Operations for XR Access, a research consortium at Cornell Tech that works on making VR, AR, and MR accessible to people across the full spectrum of abilities and disabilities. In this interview, we talk about how to design immersive experiences for people with vision, hearing, mobility, and other limitations. We explore possibilities for ways to help people use and comfortably navigate through emerging technologies such as VR and AR regardless of their abilities.
