Abstract

This study presents MagniVR, an accessibility tool designed to enhance Virtual Reality experiences for individuals with low vision. The primary objective of this study was to develop and evaluate the effectiveness of MagniVR and provide a user-friendly tool for developers. MagniVR distinguishes itself by offering a customizable digital magnification tool that assists users in navigating and interacting within 3D virtual spaces. It can be integrated seamlessly with existing VR projects through the OpenXR framework during the development and offers flexibility in terms of camera and display positions on the user’s avatar. The tool's design includes a user interface for customization and a magnifier display and camera.
