This document lists user needs and requirements for people with disabilities when using virtual reality or immersive environments, augmented or mixed reality and other related technologies (XR). It first introduces a definition of XR as used throughout the document, then briefly outlines some uses of XR. It outlines the complexity of understanding XR, introduces some technical accessibility challenges such as the need for multi-modal support, synchronization of input and output devices and customization. It then outlines accessibility related user needs for XR and suggests subsequent requirements. This is followed by related work that may be helpful understanding the complex technical architecture and processes behind how XR environments are built and what may form the basis of a robust accessibility architecture.
