XR UX Foundations: Visibility and Legibility

Are you transitioning from 2D UX design to XR (VR/AR)? A crucial shift involves prioritizing user eye health. In 2D, visual aesthetics and UI often mask underlying technical complexities. However, XR design demands a much deeper consideration of visual factors due to the unique characteristics of VR and AR headsets.
