Original Abstract Submitted

The techniques disclosed herein enable systems to translate three-dimensional experiences into user accessible experiences to improve accessibility for users with disabilities. Namely, the discussed system enables users with disabilities to create and personalize objects for use in the three-dimensional experience. This is accomplished by translating and grouping components from a three-dimensional space to form an intuitive and logical hierarchy. The grouped components are then organized into an accessible user interface which a user with disabilities can navigate using simplified inputs and assistive technologies. In this way, users with disabilities can be empowered to personalize their user experience and understand a three-dimensional space in a layered, well-defined format.
