What if blind users could explore any VR app without waiting for developers to add accessibility features?

Very excited to present and demonstrate VRSight at #UIST2025 in Busan this month! We plan to open-source everything—the VRSight system, DISCOVR dataset, and trained object detection model weights. Coming very soon!

Please join us if you're interested in seeing how we're identifying AR/VR developers' challenges making their apps accessible and/or how we're using AI/CV tools to help blind and low vision people try VR!

CHI 2025 paper alert! 🌞
This year at #CHI2025, my lab will be presenting three full papers, an interactivity, and a poster on #Accessibility, #ARVR, and #AI topics!

[Yuhang Zhao @YuhangZhao1]

(4) VRSight, an AI-driven scene exploration system that enables VR a11y for blind users without developer integration, by @_dekilo; and (5) Understanding user tolerance in MR drift by @chenruijia120 and @_dekilo. We look forward to meeting you and discussing the research!!!
