Before XR Access goes into hibernation at the end of the year, please join us for one last event.  Our Director of Operations Dylan Fox will present a brief history of XR Access, give our community members a chance to share how XR Access has made an impact on their lives and careers, and we’ll collectively say farewell to the end of an era and discuss how to keep the dream of XR accessibility alive going into the future.

Event Details

Date: Fri Dec 12th

Time: 1pm PT | 4pm ET

Location: Zoom

Since 2019, XR Access has pushed to make XR technologies accessible. We’ve brought together a community of accessibility advocates and researchers; kept the spotlight on access at tech conferences and universities; created resources for creators trying to improve the accessibility of their products; and of course, held our annual Symposium that brings together the greatest minds of the era to solve the challenges of making immersive technology inclusive.

Unfortunately, for reasons beyond our control, XR Access will be shutting its doors for the forseeable future at the end of the year. Before then, we wanted to give the members of our community one last chance to join us and speak about what this organization has meant to you.

  • What have you learned at our events?
  • Who did you meet that has become important to you?
  • How did it feel to know that there are others out there that care about this?
  • Finally, what can we all do going forward to make sure that the dream of accessible XR technologies lives on?

This will likely be the last public event that XR Access hosts for the foreseeable future, so we hope to see you there.

If you require accessibility accommodations such as American Sign Language interpretation, please email info@xraccess.org no fewer than 72 hours before the event.
