<span style="color:#212121">Accessing VR/AR while the user is
being seated is not uncommon. However, sitting often is not
recognized as a unique characteristic and instead is somehow
addressed in the background, or it is perceived as just given,
because it often also is not a design decision to make, and
thus does not generate attention. Furthermore, whenever being
seated really is a choosable option, it might look only
limiting at first glance, but reveals various opportunities at
a second. In the end, the reason for being seated are diverse
and could be. However, the impact and questions on the UI
design as well as the user's perception often are the same.
Therefore, we think it is worth to combine research around
this scenario and bringing interested researchers together, to
identify and discuss research and lack of such in this field.</span></span></p>
