[Air-L] WEBCAST SEP 19: A11yVR – Accessibility in a Virtual World Before Oculus – Alice Krueger + Ann Ludwig

[Joly MacFie]

Just kicking off


[image: isoc live] <https://isoc.live/15739>On *Monday September 19 2022*
 at *19:30 EDT / 23:30 UTC / 08:30 JST* (Sep 20) the *Accessibility VR
Meetup <https://www.meetup.com/A11yVR/>* hosts '*Accessibility in a Virtual
World Before Oculus <https://www.meetup.com/a11yvr/events/287745069/>*'.
Accessible virtual worlds existed before VR immersive headsets, and VR
headsets aren’t for everyone, other rich environments with a lower level of
technology and welcoming communities are necessary to be fully inclusive.
The *Virtual Ability <https://virtualability.org/>* community in *Second
Life <https://secondlife.com/>* has facilitated the entry into virtual
worlds of people with a wide range of accessibility needs since 2007. *Alice
Krueger* and *Ann Ludwig* will explain the accessibility options of the new
Resident Orientation Course and Sojourner Auditorium on Second Life’s
Virtual Ability island, and the platform tools and design principles that
lead to an accessible virtual environment.

The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the *Internet
Society New York Chapter Accessibility SIG <https://a11ysig.org/>*
 (A11ySIG).
