Technology has enabled people of all abilities to connect and engage virtually for intentional interactions on multiple platforms. But can online and onsite users meet equitably in the hybrid world for less structured contact? How does this help or hinder accessibility? Is it possible to read visual, spatial, and emotional cues when body language is not evident? This discussion and demonstration will explore the infrastructure of a successful hybrid interior, including physical and virtual components such as acoustics, furniture shapes, sound and video equipment. It will address access for multiple types of disabilities within one hybrid space, translation technologies, virtual reality meeting rooms and augmented reality interiors, as well as future implications of Immersive Interiors—the fusion of digital, virtual, and physical interior spaces. Speaker details coming soon.
