Abstract

This IDC Perspective provides insights into how augmented humanity technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), robotics, IoT, and AI are helping companies tackle issues around accessibility. These technologies enable individuals to overcome physical and cognitive challenges that constrain their ability to carry out tasks seamlessly. With more European companies looking to become more inclusive and to implement accessible technology to tackle these issues, this study provides an overview of use cases and success stories from companies successfully implementing a tech-oriented accessibility strategy. It also provides advice for technology buyers.
