Virtual Reality (VR) has become a trending topic as talk about Web 3.0 and the metaverse became unavoidable in the last few years. However, despite the ambitions of technocrats to use this technology to change the way we socialize, shop, and live our lives, who does "we" include? Over the last 5 years, a steady community dedicated to examining and addressing VR's application to disabled users has grown. This session will start with a presentation that will introduce this community and its work and examine its applicability to libraries. The second hour will consist of a workshop that introduces auditing practices for these technologies.
