Abstract:

This article presents the results of exploratory research to examine the accessibility limitations that eXtended Reality (XR) presents for people with reduced mobility. The research used in-depth interviews with experts and the application of the Delphi method. In particular, we explored potential solutions to provide a more accessible and usable XR, and looked at positive applied uses of this technology in terms of improving the well-being of people with reduced mobility. The results will be used to develop a cultural and educational XR prototype.
