A computer system for metaverse digital accessibility in a metaverse space, comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- non-transitory computer-readable storage media encoding instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, causes the computer system to create:
- an accessibility characteristics engine programmed to determine one or more accessibility characteristics associated with a user;
- an environment engine programmed to generate an environment for an avatar associated with the user, wherein, based on the one or more accessibility characteristics, the environment engine modifies the environment to generate a modified environment that includes one or more inclusions or exclusions to the environment to increase accessibility of the user within the metaverse space, and wherein the environment engine presents the modified environment to the user while simultaneously presenting the environment to other users within the metaverse space;
- and
- an accessibility support engine programmed to provide an accessibility aide to the avatar associated with the user based on the one or more accessibility characteristics.
A method of providing digital accessibility to a user in a metaverse space comprising:
- determining one or more accessibility characteristics associated with the user;
- and
- generating a featured environment to the metaverse space for an avatar of the user to interact in, the featured environment including one or more features, wherein, based on the one or more accessibility features, the featured environment includes a modified environment having one or more inclusions or exclusions to at least one each feature of the one or features to increase accessibility of the user within the metaverse space, and wherein presenting the modified environment to the user while simultaneously presenting the featured environment to other users within the metaverse space.
