@merrierm@rupeshmalpani@MSFTResearch And even beyond #a11y, it's important to think about access to the hardware and infrastructure. These technologies are often expensive, need dedicated space, and may rely on fast broadband. There's interesting research into how we make this more inclusive.
@MSFTResearch One huge opportunity we have with the lockdown is the massive number of people having to live in telepresence. There are now so many people working and playing online now that natural experiments are everywhere!
@MSFTResearch As @Eyal_Ofek notes, rendering to more sense than just hte visual is very exciting right now. Beyond haptics there's also some great work in using spatial audio. Microsoft's Soundscape is a great example of the power of this in AR.
