Dear Read 2.0 and EPUB 3 Community Group, I recall hearing on the Read 2.0 list that VR and AR in publishing was of interest to many. I also recall that the Seattle area was a center for this development. Below is a link to a W3C workshop that may be of interest. It is in Seattle November 5 & 6. Accessibility of AR and VR in publishing is of high interest, but due to the 24 hour a day limit, I have not been able to track this. I would hope that publishing folks can participate and help to evolve this most interesting technology in a way that will benefit all, including persons with disabilities. https://www.w3.org/2019/08/inclusive-xr-workshop/ Best George George Kerscher Ph.D. -In our Information Age, access to information is a fundamental human right.
