An online ACM CHI 2021 Workshop on
Immersive media is becoming increasingly common in day-to-day scenarios: from extended reality systems to multimodal interfaces. Such ubiquity opens an opportunity for building more inclusive environments for users with disabilities (either permanent, temporary, or situational) by introducing immersive and multimodal elements into existing applications, or designing and creating immersive applications with inclusivity in mind.
This ACM CHI 2021 Online Workshop on Design and Creation of Inclusive User Interactions Through Immersive Media invites its participants to open a discussion on intersections between the fields of immersive media, accessibility, and human-computer interaction, outline the key current and future problems of immersive inclusive design, define a set of methodologies for design and evaluation of immersive systems from inclusivity, and create a bilateral value exchange dialogue between researchers and practitioners in academia and industry.
