Breaking the Exclusion Cycle for Immersive Technologies with XR Access

Jun 2

09:00 AM - 09:25 AM

Description

As immersive technologies take on greater roles in our training, education, and healthcare, excluding people with disabilities carries more legal and economic risk than ever before. We're trapped in a vicious cycle of exclusion that threatens to deepen inequity, limit XR's potential, and hurt your bottom line. But we can break free!

XR Access' Dylan Fox and Danielle Montour will share why accessibility is vital to the success of your application. You'll learn about the fundamental principles of codesign and modularity, the surprising link between accessibility and artificial intelligence, and best practices for addressing specific disabilities. Finally, you'll learn how XR Access has been working to end the cycle of exclusion.

Soon, we will be able to use 5G and visual positioning system (VPS) technology to create immersive applications in a city-scale environment. Such dynamic XR applications on city scale will rely on extreme wireless performance and network awareness. Jasmeet and Matias will emphasize and explain how Ericsson is collaborating with the XR startup ecosystem and players like Immersal via its Startup5G program to help creators and brands understand wireless network capabilities and to scale up these applications and create a vibrant XR ecosystem that can drive economic growth and enhance the user experience for everyone. They will also describe the interesting business potential of technology like 5G and VPS for location-based services, such as navigation and advertising in real world metaverse.
