Accessibility in Virtual Reality

What do you think about Virtual Reality? While the technology still has a lot of advancing needed before we mistake it for reality, there are such a wide range of benefits to different groups of people that it's not something that can be ignored.

I actually feel that using VR as a platform to share experiences with others, as well as a way of preparing people for certain situations, is one of the biggest potential opportunities in accessibility within the next couple of years.

People often need to experience something to truly understand it, and offering a way to (at least) experience the vision or hearing of another person could be the kind of 'walking a mile in their shoes' that makes a real difference.

We can't wait to see where this tech goes!
