What do you think is the current status of XR experiences? Are most of them accessible?

As with all technology, XR is evolving. The current status in terms of accessibility is that more folks need to be educated about accessibility in the VR space. In general, most experiences are not accessible, yet.

Oculus For Developers has some documentation for Designing accessible VR. You can find it here:
https://developer.oculus.com/learn/design-accessible-vr/

My current research with VEIL (Virtual Experience Interaction Lab https://www.veilab.org/) involves examining Design Patterns in VR. My future work involves research into inclusive and accessible XR. In addition, I am working on a book that will be related to XR and spatial computing.

How can people support you?

Rapid speeds and massive capacity connections offered by 5G hold the potential to drastically transform how healthcare is delivered. The DOD last June named JBSA as the experimentation site specifically for 5G in telemedicine and medical training. This pilot is part of the second tranche of military installations the Pentagon is steering as part of an ambitious effort to explore and prototype 5G-enabled technologies
