Hello,

W3C is pleased to call for participation in:

      W3C Workshop on Inclusive Design for Immersive Web Standards
      5-6 November 2019, Seattle, WA, USA
      https://www.w3.org/2019/08/inclusive-xr-workshop/

Our thanks to PlutoVR for hosting the workshop.

The goals of the workshop are to:
* Share existing inclusive XR solutions that will help us create new 
standards for inclusive XR on the web.
* Identify accessibility gaps in existing web XR technologies, and 
consider solutions for closing those gaps.
* Explore ways to use existing technologies and standards to create 
innovative solutions for inclusive XR on the web.

Attendance is free for all invited participants and is open to the 
public, whether or not W3C members.

Expected topics of discussion include:
   * Standards that already exist or are in development that may impact 
inclusive XR on the Web
   * Solutions that are already being used to create inclusive XR on the web
   * Lessons from other areas like location-based VR, gaming, and 360 video
   * Accessibility limitations of existing web XR technologies
   * Extensions to existing web XR technologies to enable more inclusive 
XR on the web
   * Role of AI in providing real-time audio description or text captions
   * Using existing APIs to provide alternative modes of interaction
     (like the Vibration API for tactile feedback, the Gamepad API for 
alternative input devices)
