XR for All: Accessibility and Privacy for Disabled Users
Dylan Fox
DEF CON 32 Creator Stage · Day 1 · Creator Stage
Dylan Fox, Director of Operations for XR Access, delivered a compelling talk at DEF CON 32 titled "XR for All: Accessibility and Privacy for Disabled Users." The presentation underscored the critical importance of integrating accessibility into **Extended Reality (XR)** technologies—encompassing Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR)—from their foundational design stages. Fox challenged the common misconception that accessibility is a mere compliance checklist for a minority, instead framing it as a universal design principle that benefits everyone, irrespective of their transient or permanent abilities.
