[Live] WEBCAST JUL 19: A11yVRa – Virtual Accessibility Mapping, Awareness Raising, and Real-World Advocacy – Mark Bookman

[ISOC_live]

Coming up later today. As part of the prep for this I got to be a
virtual cameraman, following Mark around various scenes in VRChat
(including DisneyWorld!) which he used to expound on real
world accessibility issues. Watch the cast to see the video.

EDT / 23:30 UTC / 08:30 JST (Jul 20)* the *Accessibility VR Meetup
<https://www.meetup.com/A11yVR/>* hosts '*Virtual Accessibility Mapping,
Awareness Raising, and Real-World Advocacy
<https://www.meetup.com/a11yvr/events/285974127/>*' in *Mozilla Hubs
<https://hubs.mozilla.com/>*. Encounters with barriers to built
environments, education, employment, entertainment, and healthcare in
virtual reality (VR) can shape our understanding of issues faced by diverse
demographics in the real world. In this presentation, *Mark Bookman
<http://www.bookmanresearch.com/>* discusses how he uses VR in his classes
at the University of Tokyo to help raise awareness about otherwise
invisible obstacles for disabled individuals.

The session will be webcast live via a partnership with the *Internet
Society New York Chapter Accessibility SIG <https://a11ysig.org>* (A11ySIG).
