随着混合现实技术在博物馆中越来越普遍，公众对其可访问性和可用性的问题仍然存在。本研究旨在发现其中的一些问题，并调查我们如何设计解决方案，并创建支持这些少数民族经验的过程。研究混合现实在博物馆中的影响仍然是相当新的，因此在早期提出无障碍问题有助于创造公平的体验。这将是残疾人主导的研究，包括多个残疾人的声音，以支持他们面临的问题的方式创建和研究，使用参与式研究方法。特别是在基于实践的混合现实应用中，特别是在文化遗产背景下，支持地面设计的无障碍环境。博士旨在创建指导方针或框架，以在博物馆等环境中创建未来的装置，以确保它们尽可能无障碍。它还旨在直接建议和影响该技术在未来可能最有帮助的地方。它还希望支持设计过程的创建，这些设计过程倾向于无障碍问题并整合边缘化的体验。不把可访问性看作是一个需要跨越的边界，而是一个机会。另一方面是看工作的呈现，以及如何使这种研究对外行人或研究之外的专业人士有用。不要挑选或选择我们认为他们可以理解的东西，而是尽可能多地提供给更广泛的受众。在这里，必须认识到这些群体可能拥有的非学术专长。虽然它几乎肯定是超出了博士学位的范围，以充分调查弥合这一差距，有一个目标，它是形成这种整合的基础的一部分，在future.This author is supported by the Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of诺丁汉（UKRI Grant No. EP/S 023305/1）。

As mixed reality technology continues to become more prevalent in museums there are continuing questions on its accessibility and useability by the general public. This research aims to find some of these problems and investigate how we design solutions and create processes that support these minority experiences. Researching the effect of mixed reality in museums is still reasonably new and so bringing questions of accessibility in early supports the creation of equitable experiences.It will be disability-led research that includes multiple disabled voices to create and research in a way that supports the problems they face, using participatory research methods. Specifically supporting ground-up designed-in accessibility in practice based mixed reality applications, especially for cultural heritage contexts.The PhD aims to create guidelines or frameworks to create future installations in settings like museums to ensure they are as accessible as possible. It also aims to directly suggest and influence where the technology might be most helpful in future. It also wants to support the creation of design processes that lean into accessibility problems and integrate marginalised experiences. Not seeing accessibility as a boundary to get over but an opportunity.The other side of this is looking at the presentation of the work, and how this kind of research can be made useful to a lay population, or professionals outside of research. Not picking or choosing what we think they can understand but making as much as possible available and accessible to wider audiences. It is essential here to recognise the non-academic expertise these groups may have. While it is almost certainly beyond the scope of the PhD to fully investigate bridging this gap there is an aim for it to form part of the basis of this integration in future.This author is supported by the Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Nottingham (UKRI Grant No. EP/S023305/1).
