DEIA ACCESSIBILITY STREAM

The IEEE VR 2024 DEIA Accessibility Streaming is intended to provide
support for students, early-career researchers (graduate students and
postdocs), established researchers, or other interested individuals who
would have liked to attend IEEE Virtual Reality 2024 but face financial,
physical, or other atypical barriers to attending the conference in person.
This includes people who are d/Deaf, hard of hearing, or otherwise require
captions; people who are blind and low vision; people with mobility
challenges; and members of under-represented or historically marginalized
groups.

Selected individuals will be provided access to live streaming of select
IEEE VR 2024 sessions, e.g., the opening/closing ceremonies, keynote talks,
and special sessions. Due to IEEE and other restrictions of the public
broadcasting of conference content, DEIA Accessibility Streaming will be
restricted to those individuals who demonstrate a need through our
application.



APPLICATION GUIDELINES AND PROCESS

We will be accepting applications through the end of the conference (i.e.,
Closing Ceremony, March 21st). Those selected for DEIA Accessibility
Streaming access will be informed on a rolling basis as their applications
are approved and provided with instructions to promptly access the stream.

Interested individuals may apply via this Google Form
