Kinesthetic Interaction

Interaction that uses whole-body movement, gesture, or controller-tracked limb motion — as opposed to discrete button presses — to drive a computing system. Kinesthetic interaction is central to extended-reality experiences (VR/AR/MR), where hand tracking, head tracking, and room-scale locomotion are the primary input channels. It poses distinct accessibility challenges: users with motor impairments, wheelchair users, or those with limited range of motion may be unable to perform required gestures, and current WCAG guidance does not address these interaction modalities.
