Inclusive Working Environments in VR
Since January 2023, we have been working on solutions in the InclusiveVR@Work project to enable people with and without visual impairments to work together in virtual reality (VR) without accessibility restraints. The aim is to make it possible to adapt one's own working environment to individual needs and, at the same time to work together on the same content in VR.
InclusiveVR@Work is a collaborative project between ACCESS@KIT and the Fraunhofer Institute of Optronics, System Technologies and Image Exploitation (IOSB).
