How can I create accessible virtual tours?

Creating accessible virtual tours involves ensuring that all users, including those with disabilities, can navigate and enjoy the experience. You can start by incorporating features like screen reader compatibility, keyboard navigation, and alternative text for images.

What specific tools or platforms can I use for this?

There are several platforms like Matterport, Roundme, and Google Tour Creator that offer accessibility features. Additionally, you can use web development tools to customize your tours further.

To ensure compatibility, use semantic HTML, provide alt text for images, and ensure that all interactive elements are keyboard navigable. Testing with screen readers like JAWS or NVDA can also help.

Can you give me examples of good practices for accessible design?

Sure! Good practices include using high-contrast colors, providing captions for videos, and ensuring that all text is readable with adjustable sizes. Always consider user feedback to improve accessibility.
