Accessibility Conformance and Universal Design for Learning Commitment

Our Accessibility Conformance Report (ACR) describes how CareerViewXR meets all applicable standards for WCAG 2.2 AA compliance. However, we believe true accessibility does not stop with adherence to a compliance checklist. This is why we have proactively committed to ensuring our platform is in a state of continuous improvement, working to meet Universal Design for Learning best practices through a continuous feedback loop and partnerships with leaders in the digital inclusivity space.

We acknowledge that WebXR technologies do not yet have fully established accessibility standards, creating nuanced and evolving challenges for developers and content providers. Despite this, CareerViewXR has been recognized by industry associations as a leader in advancing accessibility within immersive technologies. Our team is actively engaged in accessibility working groups, national advisory bodies, and collaborations with vocational rehabilitation organizations and other leaders driving inclusivity efforts across the country.

In addition to meeting United States accessibility requirements, our ACR reflects alignment with internationally recognized accessibility standards. Our work includes innovation through federally funded initiatives, participation in national advisory efforts, and ongoing collaboration with experts in digital accessibility and inclusive design.

While we meet applicable WCAG success criteria, we do not approach accessibility as a static or compliance-only exercise. Instead of relying on a reactive mitigation model, CareerViewXR operates under a proactive accessibility framework that emphasizes continuous monitoring, user-centered evaluation, and iterative improvement. All known accessibility issues have been addressed, and we maintain internal processes to regularly review platform performance, identify opportunities for enhancement, and incorporate feedback—particularly from individuals with lived experience.

Accessibility considerations are embedded into our development lifecycle. Every accessibility-related concern is documented, triaged, and evaluated with the intent to resolve it within the capabilities of current technologies, while also informing future innovation. This approach ensures that improvements are ongoing rather than deferred, and that accessibility evolves alongside both user needs and technological advancements.

CareerViewXR is also committed to expanding access beyond traditional headset-based experiences. Our platform supports multiple input and output methods, ensuring that users can engage with content across devices and environments. We continue to push the boundaries of what is possible within WebXR, particularly in the interaction between immersive frameworks and web-based technologies.

Following the completion of major accessibility updates in advance of the April 24, 2026 WCAG 2.2 compliance milestone, we remain focused on sustained advancement. While infrastructure-level enhancements will continue to evolve, our approach is not dependent on a fixed mitigation roadmap. Instead, we actively partner with clients, accessibility experts, and users with lived experience to continuously improve usability and inclusivity, while preparing for and adapting to future accessibility standards.

Sincerely,

Katie Chaussee & Matthew Chaussee

President & Co-Founder, CEO & Co-Founder

We are aware of our current limitations and are actively working to overcome those technological barriers by thinking outside the box and innovating with our delivery methods in both our virtual reality video content and our web-based experiences. 

Virtual Reality Videos:

  • Content warnings on VR videos that contain content that some may find upsetting or could cause harmful effects. Examples include: flashing lights, motion sickness, heights, fake blood, simulated injury, use of firearms, etc.
  • VR videos depict professionals of varying backgrounds, abilities, and ages.
  • Audio volume may be adjusted via VR headsets’ physical buttons or VR video player app settings.  

Web-based Experiences:

  • Web-based version of field trip content allows a wider range of users to enjoy, including those with vertigo, motion sickness, tactile/sensory aversions, and other health-related concerns.
  • Educational hotspots feature both audio and visual formats to consume the information. 
  • Audio volume may be adjusted in individual hotspots’ audio and video players.
  • Auto-generated captions for video available via video player featured in hotspots.
  • Web-based experiences can be navigated with keyboard functions (Keyboard navigation instructions below & within experiences).
  • Content warnings on web-based experiences that contain content that some may find upsetting or could cause harmful effects. Examples include: simulated traumatic events, needles, discussions of drug abuse, flashing lights, etc.
  • Magnifying glass controls allow user to zoom in or out on 360-degree scenes.
  • Experiences depict professionals of varying backgrounds, abilities, and ages.
  • Instructions on how to use web-based experience are present in every experience.
  • Format and navigation of field trips remains the same no matter which is explored. 

Accessibility Limitations

Virtual Reality video technologies and the WebXR framework have some known accessibility limitations. In particular, VR Video technology viewed in a headset can be problematic for those with vertigo, motion sickness, tactile/sensory aversions, and other health-related concerns. Accessibility with VR Video playback is also restricted by the limited accessibility features available in VR devices’ native video players. 

The WebXR framework used to deliver immersive content via the internet also has some accessibility challenges, primarily stemming from the inability to display HTML elements in a spatial environment. This presents challenges for screen reading technology and other built-in browser accessibility tools.  

Keyboard Navigation for Web-Based Field Trips

CareerViewXR web-based experiences can be explored using a keyboard once engaged in full screen. To navigate content in this manner, the following keys can be used:

  • Left, Right, Up, Down Arrow Keys (← ↑ → ↓) – Navigate/rotate the 360-degree image.
  • Shift + Arrow Keys – Fine-tuned/slower navigation/rotation of the 360-degree image.
  • Period and Comma Keys (>. and <,) – Cycle through hotspots.
  • Space Bar – Activate/open a hotspot. Press again to deactivate/close. Also activates buttons on the audio/video player when selected via “Tab”.
  • Enter – Activate a button.
  • Tab – Navigate between buttons, including audio/video player buttons within hotspots (Play/Pause, Closed Captions, Full Screen, volume, etc.).
  • Shift + Tab – Navigate buttons in reverse.
  • Escape (Esc) – Exit full-screen mode in the video player. Also clears button focus and refocuses the experience window.
