Augmented reality to facilitate accessibility

A method, comprising:

• determining whether a user of a first augmented reality device is within a threshold distance from a configurable physical apparatus;
• responsive to determining that the user is within the threshold distance from the configurable physical apparatus, establishing a communication link between the first augmented reality device and a controller of the configurable physical apparatus, wherein a second augmented reality device is within the threshold distance from the configurable physical apparatus;
• coordinating, by the first augmented reality device, with the second augmented reality device by exchanging at least one message between the first augmented reality device and the second augmented reality device;
• based on the at least one message, at least the first augmented reality device determining that the first augmented reality device has priority over the second augmented reality device for control of the configurable physical apparatus;
• and
• responsive to determining that the first augmented reality device has priority for control of the configurable physical apparatus, initiating, by the first augmented reality device, the controller of the configurable physical apparatus to change the configurable physical apparatus from a first configuration to a second configuration, wherein the second configuration facilitates accessibility of the configurable physical apparatus to the user.
