Is VR Accessible For All?

VR is an accessible medium for many but is built as a 360-degree visual and auditory experience. Creators and technologists are working now on additional ways to be equitable and inclusive with the medium through tactile and sensory additions, but as a new art form, there are at present limited resources available yet for a full range of accessibility needs.

  • For those who wear glasses, VR can accommodate them but if allowable, contact lenses or no glasses are preferable for comfort.
  • If you have an allergy to foam, we recommend using the HTC Vive or HP.
  • Subtitles and closed captions are not currently available for these VR experiences.
  • We do not recommend VR for those with a history of seizures, severe migraines, or vertigo/balance differences.
  • Cleaning will be scent-free for all equipment.
  • If you have accessibility-related questions or requests please contact us at [email protected] or call 503-276-4284.
