<p>In this GDC 2018 talk, Mixer’s Tara Voelker and 343 Industries’ Brannon Zahand discuss the value of a dedicated inclusive technologies space at Microsoft.</p>
<p>The two go over how the lab was launched, what went right (and not quite right) during the first six months of operation, and provide detailed tips and tricks for those interested in setting up their own accessibility-centric space.</p>
