智能时代下虚拟环境无障碍的概念界定与实现路径——以元宇宙为例

Definition of Virtual Environment Accessibility and Its Implementation Path in the Era of Intelligence:Taking the Metaverse as an Example

随着人工智能、虚拟现实等新技术的快速发展,智能时代的虚拟环境已经成为人们日常生活不可或缺的一部分。然而,对于一些人群,如残障人士,他们可能面临着在虚拟环境中受到限制和障碍的问题。因此,无障碍设计成为了一个迫切需要解决的问题。虚拟环境无障碍是指在虚拟环境中,不仅能够满足普通用户的需求,还需要考虑残障人士的多样化需求,以确保每个用户都能够平等地访问和使用虚拟环境。这需要虚拟环境提供多种交互方式、易于导航的界面、不同设备和平台的兼容性、多种无障碍需求等方面的设计。在实现虚拟环境无障碍的路径上,本文提出了几个建议,例如虚拟环境无障碍设计需要充分考虑多种障碍、考虑不同设备和平台的兼容性、不断推动技术的创新和发展、加强用户体验的测试和评估。实现虚拟环境无障碍需要政府、企业、技术研发人员、残障人士等多方面的合作和努力。只有通过共同的努力和创新,才能让虚拟环境真正地为每个人服务,成为一个包容和开放的数字世界。

With the rapid development of new technologies such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality,the virtual environment in the intelligent era has become an indispensable part of people's daily life.However,for some people,such as persons with disabilities,they may face the problem of being restricted and hindered in the virtual environment.Therefore,barrier-free designing has become an urgent problem to be solved.This paper first defines the concept of virtual environment accessibility.Accessibility of virtual environment means that in the virtual environment,not only can it meet the needs of ordinary users,but also needs to consider the diverse needs of the disabled to ensure that every user can access and use the virtual environment equally.This requires the virtual environment to provide a variety of interactive ways,easy-to-navigate interfaces,compatibility of different devices and platforms,and consideration of various obstacles.On the path to achieving virtual environment accessibility,this paper puts forward several suggestions,for example,virtual environment accessibility design needs to fully consider multiple obstacles,the compatibility of different devices and platforms,continue to promote technology innovation and development,and strengthen user experience testing and evaluation.Finally,we believe that the realization of barrier-free virtual environment requires the cooperation and efforts of the government,enterprises,technical research and development personnel,persons with disabilities and other aspects.Only through joint efforts and innovation can the virtual environment truly serve everyone and become an inclusive and open digital world.
