Accessibility in the Metaverse: Are We Prepared?
Resumo
Metaverso é um novo paradigma que está em construção onde plataformas sociais e imersivas de Realidade Virtual serão compatíveis com diversos tipos de aplicações. No entanto, soluções devem ser desenvolvidas para garantir que pessoas com deficiência acessem o Metaverso. Este trabalho tem como objetivo apresentar um panorama das pesquisas sobre acessibilidade de sistemas imersivos e traçar desafios e oportunidades para que a comunidade de Interação Humano-Computador possa refletir e intensificar as pesquisas nesta área.
Palavras-chave:
