Dear WAI Interest Group,

WAI’s Research Questions Task Force (RQTF) and Accessible Platform Architectures (APA) Working Group invite you to comment on the First Public Working Draft of a W3C Working Group Note:
       XR Accessibility User Requirements (XAUR)

The XAUR document describes the needs of people with disabilities in virtual or immersive environments (XR). It includes requirements for XR to be accessible.

XAUR is for designers and developers who are involved in creating XR experiences. It is also useful for anyone who wants to better understand XR accessibility.
