[Live] WEBCAST JUNE 17: A11yVR – Captions and Beyond: Building XR software for all users – Evan Tice

[ISOC_live]

Last time <https://isoc.live/12765/> we visited AltSpaceVR, they rolled out
some fairly impressive AI captioning, including instant translation to your
preferred language. In this session we'll get an update, and learn about
the development process.

For our normal open captions, and also ASL, you'll have to watch via the
stream.

It's on the A11ySIG calendar. <https://www.a11ysig.org/a11ysig-calendar/>

Building XR software for all users
<https://www.meetup.com/a11yvr/events/278183292/>*' on *AltSpaceVR

participants with hearing and speaking differences or language barriers to
communication. *Evan Tice <https://twitter.com/barelytired>*, Senior
Software Engineering Lead for AltspaceVR, will cover captions design and
implementation (so far) in AltspaceVR from the perspective of one of the
engineers who worked on it. In addition, this talk explores how engineering
and design teams might think about designing software for those who
experience XR differently from them.

The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the* Internet
Society Accessibility SIG <https://a11ySIG.org>* (A11ySIG).
