[Air-L] WEBCAST TODAY: Haptics for XR – How designing great haptics can support use case accessibility – Eric Vezzoli

[Joly MacFie]

Our second accessibility event of the day! This is an apt follow up to last
month's A11yVR, which explored how people with visual impairment can
augment their vision. (Read the transcript
<https://archive.org/download/a11yvr10/a11yVR10_TRANSCRIPT.pdf>!) but also
briefly alluded to the CaneTroller
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/publication/enabling-people-visual-impairments-navigate-virtual-reality-haptic-auditory-cane-simulation-2/>,
a white cane for virtual worlds.
Incidentally, VR props to ISOC Middle East, who used Mozilla Hubs for
the networking
sessions

during their recent Chapter Workshop.

<https://livestream.com/internetsociety/a11yvr11>On *Thursday Nov 19 2020*
at* 1pm EST / 18:00 UTC / 3am JST* (Fri) the *Accessibility VR Meetup
<https://www.meetup.com/A11yVR/>* hosts '*Haptics for XR – How designing
great haptics can support use case accessibilit*y' on Mozilla Hubs. Hand
interaction with virtual content in XR is mainly mediated by controllers
equipped with haptics actuators. Haptics can play a strong role for
accessibility through sensory substitution, which means deliver through the
sense of touch information otherwise mediated by sound or vision.
Presenter *Eric
Vezzoli* will focus on haptics design guidelines for XR, and a practical
approach on how to implement and realize them via the *Interhaptics
<https://www.interhaptics.com/>* haptic composer. The session will be
webcast live via a partnership with the *Internet Society Accessibility SIG*
(A11ySIG).
