ArXi:2604.05605v1 Announce Type: cross Video conferencing has become central to professional collaboration, yet most platforms offer limited for deaf, hard-of-hearing, and multilingual users. The World Health Organisation estimates that over 430M people worldwide require rehabilitation for disabling hearing loss, a figure projected to exceed 700M by 2050. Conventional accessibility measures remain constrained by high costs, limited availability, and logistical barriers, while Extended Reality (XR) technologies open new possibilities for immersive and inclusive communication.
