Hi there 👋🏼 I'm Jazmin Cano, Sr. Accessibility Product Manager at @owlchemylabs.com.

I'm excited to reconnect with & make new XR friends! I've been in this industry since 2015, mostly in social VR. Inclusion and joy are my passions, so I'll be posting about accessibility, XR, and games!
So happy I get to work with these talented devs!
Happy #NationalInternDay to Owlchemy's Summer 2025 Interns, June, Joseph, and Patricio.

Instead of learning the ropes, we gave them the rope and let them create their very own one-of-a-kind project.

Meet our 2025 Interns and learn about their projects here: owlchemylabs.com/blog/owlchem...

XR Access Symposium is today and attendees include such an amazing mix of people: researchers, advocates, and developers! The amount of knowledge being shared is truly invaluable. I love this event!

Are there examples of games or apps in VR with captions for non-speech sounds, such as "BOOM" for an explosion or "SNAP" when a character snaps?
Non-VR games with captions would be great to see as well. #A11Y #XR #gamedev

Infinite shoutouts to the ladies at @owlchemylabs.com who ran the Women Supporting Women in Gaming panel at #PAXEast — you were all amazing! 😁🔥

Double shoutouts to Valencia, who I got to chat with at the booth! She sent me off with so much advice and great resources for pursuing narrative design 🥰✨️

Arcades at airports. Was that ever a thing? I wish there was one where I'm at. I'd be there before all my flights!

Content Creators,

Do you regularly create content with your friends?
Do you like games like Overcooked or Chained Together?
Are you at least interested in VR games, if not already playing them?

Then I want to hear from you. I'm cooking some things up this year, and I want to connect with y'all!

Another VR design insight.

Embodiment! Your players want to be themselves role playing as someone in your world. They don’t want to be a “named character”.

Don’t do a “voice in head” instead the world should react to how they choose to play. Even if it’s not the “golden path”.

Today was Long Covid Awareness Day. Main thing I want to say is I do think training us to abandon each other to permanent disability helped pave the path to fascism we’re now speeding down.

Popping on a mask at the grocery store won’t cure all, but it’s one way to interrupt the eugenicist project.

This is so excitiiiing!! I am so happy we get to do this together 😁
Getting excited for #gdc2025 👾
Come check out @jc-3d.bsky.social and myself this Tuesday 10:50 AM room 2002, talking about #xr, #design, #accessibility, and creating engaging social experiences. (Expect lots of mini golf puns⛳️)

Question for VR players and users of XR apps! Which games/apps have accessibility features that you've used or even just appreciated knowing about? I want to bump these titles you share to the top of my research list to try out! #VRgames #VRGaming

I love the fact that we get two GAconfs annually. Education and discussions about accessibility at this scale is worth multiple big events, and it's incredible that we get to have that thanks to the organizers and professionals pushing this forward. Thank you @gaconf.bsky.social 💜
The next edition of GAconf will be at the Pullman St Pancras Hotel, London, on April 14th & 15th. And hybrid, also free to attend online.

Two days of talks and networking on accessibility for disabled players. Registration now open at GAconf.com!

It's 2024, games should not be launching without subtitles.

For a game to count as having subtitles, they need to actually be readable. Far too many are not.

Can we please have none of this in 2025. Collectively as an industry we need to be doing better, our players deserve better.
