Abstract

Despite the efforts for making virtual worlds accessible to users with visual impairments (VI), we still lack an effective way of describing the virtual environment and having the users interact with it. This work aims to complete these missing parts by generating meaningful textual/audio feedbacks as necessary and by providing text-based interaction capabilities.
