2 separate devices can serve as input and output components of a system in an XR setup.
XR glasses may seem impractical for users with impaired vision, given their compromised sensory input. However, leveraging the human sensorium's ability to intake information from multiple senses, communicating information through alternative senses can partially compensate for compromised vision. In this context, pairing XR glasses with other wearables can transform them into effective accessibility tools.
