Abstract
Immersive experiences – enabled by technologies such as VR, AR, 360° video and other highly immersive multimedia applications – have the potential to make interacting with various activities more inclusive for many people. This can be achieved by applying the principles of inclusive design. This panel will discuss the current challenges in designing inclusive immersive technologies, and how they should be addressed.
