pixijs-accessibility
Enable screen reader and keyboard navigation via PixiJS's AccessibilitySystem. The system creates an invisible shadow DOM overlay positioned over accessible containers so assistive technology can discover and activate them.
Quick Start
const button = new Sprite(await Assets.load("button.png"));
button.accessible = true;
button.accessibleTitle = "Play game";
button.accessibleHint = "Starts a new game session";
button.eventMode = "static";
button.tabIndex = 0;
app.stage.addChild(button);
app.renderer.accessibility.setAccessibilityEnabled(true);
button.on("pointertap", () => startGame());
