I have been asked to do a pre-purchase audit of software designed for use within a VR environment. The first of these is "Tilt Brush" by Google. Has anyone conducted an audit like this before? Suggestions? How different is it from a web site or installed software?

Thank You!

I haven't done an audit, but I started collecting a few resources that might be relevant if we did:

http://gameaccessibilityguidelines.com/. There is a checklist at http://gameaccessibilityguidelines.com/GAG-checklist.xlsx

I also have the Lucasfilm VR Accessibility Survey PDF that contains some useful stuff. This may still be online, but I can't find it. The WebAIM email system won't let me attach it, so please email me directly if you want it.
