description: The study utilises a review-based approach to examine current information technologies and their relevance to the inclusion of physically disabled individuals in the Metaverse. It involves analysing existing Metaverse concepts, exploring emerging information technologies such as Virtual and Augmented Reality, and the Internet of Things. The design framework proposed in the article is based on the active involvement of disabled creatives in the development of solutions for inclusivity.
