Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• This research examines the lived experiences of PWD using inclusive avatars that represent disabilities. • Metaverse is a relational, emotion-driven space shaped by social exchanges and a platform for authentic self-representation. • Inclusive and exclusionary interactions shape PWD’s emotions, influencing engagement, avatar connection, satisfaction, and inclusion. • Disability identity moderates the emotional impact of exclusion in immersive social interactions.
