Summary
In this chapter, we explored the accessibility challenges and opportunities within emerging technologies – VR, AR, and AI – unpacking how thoughtful design choices can make these experiences more inclusive. From adapting VR environments for sensory and mobility needs to customizing AR overlays for clarity and usability, we examined real-world strategies that enhance digital equity. We also tackled AI’s role in automating accessibility, mitigating bias, and ensuring fairness in assistive technologies.
In the next chapter, we’ll shift our focus to exploring how companies and developers have successfully implemented these accessibility principles to build truly inclusive products.
Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have a cello-playing bird to conduct.
