10. A system for enhancing accessibility for individuals with disabilities, comprising:
one or more processors;
a memory coupled to at least one of the processors; and
a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory, which, when executed by at least one of the processors, perform actions of:
acquiring disability-related information of a user of a computing device presenting a scene with user interface elements to the user, the scene being implemented in a metaverse system;
identifying an accessibility requirement of the user based on the acquired disability-related information of the user obtained from a personal accessibility requirement repository, wherein the personal accessibility requirement repository stores the accessibility requirement of the user based on historical data of the user during navigations in the metaverse system;
determining a processing routine from a plurality of processing routines stored in a routine library based on the accessibility requirement of the user;
modifying one or more of the user interface elements of the scene using the determined processing routine; and
presenting the scene with the modified one or more of the user interface elements to the user through the computing device,
wherein the plurality of processing routines stored in the routine library are generated by filtering, analyzing, and transforming existing accessibility guidelines retrieved from an accessibility guidance database.
