The W3C are working on accessibility guidelines for Virtual Reality (XR) [1] In section 4.4 on "Immersive personalisation" it states > "Support Symbol sets so they can be used to communicate and layered over objects and items to convey affordances or other needed information in way that can be understood according to user preference." Now someone has queried the use of Symbols (via a Github Issue) > "I'm wonder if this is really representative of the need and solution. When I read "symbol sets" I think unicode. When I think of AAC, I think of pictures, and they're not the same. Can we be less specific" I responded[3] saying in general that is the correct term for Cognitive accessibility AAC use and what we use here and in personalisation. I also mentioned this is complicated as there are different uses of several overlapping terms. What do people think?
