This paper discusses accessibility difficulties and opportunities for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) for users with visual, auditory, and mobility impairments. It discusses the current major obstacles, namely reliance on visual and auditory cues and physical inputs, along with the analysis of existing assistive technologies. Emerging haptics, AI, and voice interfaces among others, are now identified as solutions that might address some of these challenges, while actual cases of successful applications show promising approaches. This concluding paper makes recommendations on good practices of inclusive design, focusing on accessibility as a moral as well as business imperative.
