  Augmented, virtual and mixed reality technologies offer new ways of
interacting with digital media. However, such technologies are not well
explored for people with different ranges of abilities beyond a few specific
navigation and gaming applications. While new standardization activities are
investigating accessibility issues with existing AR/VR systems, commercial
systems are still confined to specialized hardware and software limiting their
widespread adoption among people with disabilities as well as seniors. This
proposal takes a novel approach by exploring the application of user
model-based personalization for AR/VR systems to improve accessibility. The
workshop will be organized by experienced researchers in the field of human
computer interaction, robotics control, assistive technology, and AR/VR
systems, and will consist of peer reviewed papers and hands-on demonstrations.
Keynote speeches and demonstrations will cover latest accessibility research at
Microsoft, Google, Verizon and leading universities.
