Research

XR Access supports research of all types that are dedicated to either making mainstream XR applications more accessible or utilizing XR as an assistive technology.

At Cornell Tech, Professor Shiri Azenkot’s Enhancing Ability Lab is committed to developing technology that empowers people with disabilities. Prof. Azenkot and her students have been developing XR applications to help people with visual impairments with daily tasks, like navigating stairs and locating products in a supermarket.
