Virtual reality

A computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment that users can interact with using specialized hardware such as head-mounted displays and motion controllers. Virtual reality presents significant accessibility challenges because most VR applications rely heavily on visual cues for navigation, object interaction, and spatial awareness. Research into accessible VR is exploring alternative feedback modalities — including spatial audio, haptic feedback, and speech-based cues — to enable blind and visually impaired users to participate in VR experiences for gaming, education, social interaction, and training.
