XR Hand Gestures May Exclude Millions

⊲ University of Bath ⊳ Virtual and augmented reality systems that rely on hand gestures like pinching, swiping or tapping may unintentionally exclude people with limited hand mobility due to conditions like arthritis or stroke. A University of Bath study highlights how such designs often overlook the needs of millions. Researchers suggest more accessible alternatives, like remapping gestures, adjusting sensitivity, and adding motion amplification, to make XR systems work for a broader population.
