Publication number: 20240118785Abstract: The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to translate three-dimensional experiences into user accessible experiences to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. This is accomplished by extracting components from a three-dimensional environment such as user avatars and furniture. The components are organized into component groups based on shared attributes. The component groups are subsequently organized into a flow hierarchy. The flow hierarchy is then presented to the user in an accessibility environment that enables interoperability with various accessibility tools such as screen readers, simplified keyboard inputs, and the like. Selecting a component group, and subsequently, a component through the accessibility environment accordingly invokes functionality within the three-dimensional environment. In this way, users with disabilities are empowered to fully interact with three-dimensional experiences.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 30, 2023Publication date: April 11, 2024Inventors: Brett D. HUMPHREY, Kian Chai NG, Thomas Matthew GABLE, Amichai CHARNOFF, Martin GRAYSON, Rita Faia MARQUES, Cecily Peregrine Borgatti MORRISON, Harshadha BALASUBRAMANIAN
