Resumo

Abstract This work presents a review, which covers some findings of the accessibility research using virtual reality systems, ranging years from 1996 to 2017, and fields such as children, autism, motor rehabilitation, Parkinson disease, and inclusion for the impaired. After this initial review, authors present three of their studies on the latter subject, with the topics of structural accessibility system support for virtual reality (VR), evaluation of accessibility features with impaired audiences, and live theater accessibility services for the deaf and hard of hearing people. The text gives a comprehensive introduction on the VR accessibility theme, analyzing the profile of the technology and pointing out directions for future studies on the topic.
