The result? Social exclusion, lost opportunities, and a reduced quality of life. BridgeXR seeks to systematically identify and eliminate these barriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reimagining accessibility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By combining cutting-edge <em><strong>eXtended Reality technologies<\/em><\/strong> with <em><strong>Universal Design principles<\/em><\/strong> and tailored <em><strong>training programs<\/em><\/strong>, the <a href=\"\/en\/over-ons\/partners\/\">34 public and private project partners<\/a> reimagine accessibility at every stage of the travel chain. Through <em><strong>co-creation and learning communities<\/em><\/strong>, BridgXR brings together people with disabilities, transportation providers, policymakers, local authorities, consultants, and technology developers. This unique collaboration ensures that solutions are grounded in real needs and deliver real impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To put ideas into practice, BridgeXR runs <strong><em>case studies<\/em><\/strong> in urban multi-modal travel, campus commuting, and trips to and from airports. These living labs highlight accessibility challenges, foster collaboration, and allow for innovative solutions to be tested, refined, and scaled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Paving the way<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The impact goes beyond technology. BridgeXR is paving the way for greater independence and mobility, a higher quality of life, and more inclusive transportation policies. By showcasing the power of inclusive design, the project aims to inspire long-term change\u2014making travel not only more accessible in the Netherlands, but also more inclusive worldwide.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-bottom is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:30%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignright size-full is-resized\" style=\"margin-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-right:var(--wp--preset--spacing--60);margin-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--50);margin-left:0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"704\" height=\"421\" src=\"https:\/\/bridgexr.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-xr-logo-beeldmerk.png\" alt=\"Null\" class=\"wp-image-359\" style=\"width:350px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bridgexr.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-xr-logo-beeldmerk.png 704w, https:\/\/bridgexr.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/bridge-xr-logo-beeldmerk-300x179.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 704px) 100vw, 704px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Home &gt; Over ons Werken aan toegankelijk reizen Het BridgeXR-project \u2013 voluit: Breaking Barriers for Accessible and Inclusive Journeys through eXtended Reality \u2013 pakt de toegankelijkheidsproblemen aan waarmee mensen met een beperking tijdens hun rit te maken krijgen.
