Vr and Ar in publishing

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.
