I'm nominated for an Impact Through Education award @thegamehers.bsky.social! My commitment to making XR for Everyone, empowered by @owlchemylabs.com, surfaces through projects, blogs, and talks that show others how we make XR more accessible to people with disabilities. Creating impact is my goal 🧵

This article contains really good insights on designing for hand tracking and accessibility! It features some of my coworkers, including Emma Atkinson, Marc Huet, and @gaalexxy.bsky.social. They're super cool so check it out if you like XR 🙌🏼

So happy I get to work with these talented devs!

Day 2 of the XR Access Symposium! @peterjgalbraith.com and I are here to learn about the latest research in XR accessibility to bring back to our team, @owlchemylabs.com, and to chat about games accessibility with fellow attendees!
Please say hi if you see or hear us 😊 #XRAccess2025

XR Access Symposium is today and attendees include such an amazing mix of people: researchers, advocates, and developers! The amount of knowledge being shared is truly invaluable. I love this event!

Are there examples of games or apps in VR with captions for non-speech sounds, such as "BOOM" for an explosion or "SNAP" when a character snaps?
Non-VR games with captions would be great to see as well. #A11Y #XR #gamedev

This is something really awesome that folks may have not noticed.

Owlchemy is an 80 person company. These women are all Owls, all in technical roles, hosting a panel at PAX in 2025!

We have 33 women working at Owlchemy at all levels in all roles - from COO to JR and Programmer to Art Director.

Can't wait to see your next success, because when you win, we all win! 💗😁

Folks sit at a table in front of a backdrop with the Owlchemy Labs logo and wordmark over a purple background. Nearby, one person is putting on a VR headset. On the other wall is another backdrop featuring art from their game Hexas.

Infinite shoutouts to the ladies at @owlchemylabs.com who ran the Women Supporting Women in Gaming panel at #PAXEast — you were all amazing! 😁🔥

Double shoutouts to Valencia, who I got to chat with at the booth! She sent me off with so much advice and great resources for pursuing narrative design 🥰✨️

We're here setting up for the panel!! So excited for this panel to start soon

Headed to Boston for #PAXEast! I heard a bunch of conversations about video games as I walked through the airplane and I'm even more hyped for PAX than I was before! It's my first time attending it 😁 Can't wait!

Matching hair & eyebrows?! I love that so much!! Beautiful headshot 💙

Wore my pink Barbie Cowgirl getup to celebrate the launch of Hexas today! Super excited for y'all to see this new dimension! 🐄

Arcades at airports. Was that ever a thing? I wish there was one where I'm at. I'd be there before all my flights!

Content Creators,

Do you regularly create content with your friends?
Do you like games like Overcooked or Chained Together?
Are you at least interested in VR games, if not already playing them?

Then I want to hear from you. I'm cooking some things up this year, and I want to connect with y'all!

Another VR design insight.

Embodiment! Your players want to be themselves role playing as someone in your world. They don’t want to be a “named character”.

Don’t do a “voice in head” instead the world should react to how they choose to play. Even if it’s not the “golden path”.

I'm super excited for this talk happening today at 11:30AM! Daniel and Michael are fantastic and their talk will be fantastic as well 👂🏼✨

Are you at #GDC this week? Then don't miss out on some stellar talks from our Owls.

Starting tomorrow our CEOwl, @buddingmonkey.bsky.social, is discussing Dimensional Double Shift in a postmortem, followed immediately by accessibility insights in XR with our own, Jazmin Cano (@jc-3d.bsky.social).

OMG I'm excited to be speaking again this year at #GDC2025!
I'll be talking about VR accessibility in Dimensional Double Shift by @owlchemylabs.com alongside @co16y.bsky.social talking about accessibility in Walkabout Minigolf!

Chart of US adults reporting a disability. A jagged gray line bounces around 30 million until March 2020; after, a jagged orange line climbs steeply and linearly toward 35 million.

Today was Long Covid Awareness Day. Main thing I want to say is I do think training us to abandon each other to permanent disability helped pave the path to fascism we’re now speeding down.

Popping on a mask at the grocery store won’t cure all, but it’s one way to interrupt the eugenicist project.

This is so excitiiiing!! I am so happy we get to do this together 😁

I also had the best sleep and the happiest dreams I've had in a long time! Thank you moon 🩸🌕

Ugh, it sucks you haven't run into any yet. Glad to hear the Quest UI is better. Let me know if you're interested in participating in a research interview or playtesting in the future! I'd love to work on something that makes VR more accessible for you, with your input!

I think you're right! I just learned about "scattering"! A process that occurs when light from the sun passes through the atmosphere and interacts with particles such as water, causing light to scatter in different directions making the sky look pink and orange 🧡!!!

Ah yes! I got to play a bit and enjoyed it. I absolutely love that the game offers comfort presets! Also, that is a really good talk 🙌🏼

The colors in the sky are incredible! It's rare I see a pink and orange combination like that.

Question for VR players and users of XR apps! Which games/apps have accessibility features that you've used or even just appreciated knowing about? I want to bump these titles you share to the top of my research list to try out! #VRgames #VRGaming

She is so cute in there!!
