Abstract

This study examines the current state of barrier-free online content in Korea and proposes strategies to revitalize online cultural experiences for individuals with disabilities. By scrutinizing existing content and conducting interviews with relevant stakeholders, the study identified prevailing challenges and potential avenues for improvement. This research suggests the following directions. First, content creation should involve soliciting input from individuals with disabilities, with an emphasis on generating experiences that reflect the daily lives of those without disabilities. Additionally, the development of diverse and convergent content, such as for educational and therapeutic functions, is crucial to cater to various user groups. The study underscores the importance of formatting content in consideration of the physical characteristics of individuals with disabilities. For sustained and efficient utilization, content must be created in a universally accessible format, accommodating users with and without disabilities. It is recommended to set various options within a single piece of content, fostering inclusivity across various disability types. Regarding content creation technology, it is crucial to utilize various methods, such as VR (virtual reality), drone filming, and virtual simulation.
