<jasonjgw> Scott noted the diversity of approaches and issues evident from the literature, in contrast with the CAPTCHA topic, where common themes and to some extent conclusions emerged.

<jasonjgw> Jason noted the significance of the papers from IBM Research, documenting efforts to make the PowerUp educational game (a VR environment) more accessible.

<jasonjgw> Their general appraoch was in line with the idea, discussed at our last meeting, of enhancing the VR environment with accessibility features instead of building an external assistive technology.

<jasonjgw> Jason also noted the interesting repertoire of VR accessibility features developed as part of this research, which sought to address a variety of access needs.

<sloandr> Current VR reference list is at: https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/research-questions/wiki/Virtual_Reality_and_Accessibility_References

Accessibility of virtual reality: discussion of the literature

<jasonjgw> We agreed to continue reading the appers and to add to the list of references on the wiki the initials of the person who volunteers to read each respective paper.

<jasonjgw> Although no specific research questions have yet been posed, the purpose of the work is to inform wider APA working group discussion of and responses to VR accessibility.

<jasonjgw> We decided to pose more specific questions after obtaining an overview of the literature, and to coordinate deliverables with APA (e.g., user requiremeents document).
