360° online learning environments that built in 3DVista might be challenging to access for people with some health conditions or impairments. These guidelines support authors in getting the best from the platform as of today.

3DVista Accessibility Guidelines for 360° virtual spaces.

Digital accessibility is very important and becomes an undoubtful asset for many services, virtual spaces and communication channels.
