<janina> So, we'll wait a moment or two for you, David

<janina> David, how can we help? Reconfirm URI? Dialin code?

Authentication - research questions

scribe sloandr

jasonjgw: AGWG is about to issue a public working draft including a proposal from COGA TF on authentication. So our work in this area needs to reference that.

<Judy> [jb: and otherwise known for short as "COGA"]

jasonjgw: the COGA proposal favors authentication schemes that reduce cognitive load on user (i.e. avoiding demands such as recall of novel information, or transcribing information from one place to another)
... working with janina on reviewing this proposal, will circulate thoughts to RQTF
... to clarify, the proposal is just a part of RQTF's wider exploration of research questions relating to accessibility of authentication methods

RQTF has a role of collating relevant questions to help manage provision of feedback to Web Authentication Working Group

Accessibility of virtual reality: literature

Thanks to scott_h, who circulated an initial literature review in this area.

scott_h: literature on VR and accessibility is varied in coverage, though there is a bias towards blind/visual impairment and towards e-learning (rather than gaming, as might have been expected)
... has read abstracts, and removed papers out of scope. Still to read the papers

jasonjgw: suggest we establish a wiki page to collect the papers, divide papers amongst group, read and summarise as before

sloandr: will produce the wiki page

judy: curious about decision not to include Second Life literature?

scott_h: there is plenty of literature on Second Life, but it tends to be from a humanities perspective, which seemed to be out of scope from the perspective of technical accessibility

judy: has also been exploring functional accessibility in Second Life, may be interesting to explore this angle further

there's also a conference held in Second Life on disability related issues: International Disability Rights Affirmation Conference (IDRAC). May be worth exploring for work of relevance?

<Judy> [jb: there was some early functional analysis of accessibility of Second Life, will try to dig up]

Update on personalization at W3C

jasonjgw: COGA TF is proposing an extensive draft of properties that could be included in web content to support personalisation of web content for people who need to be able to adapt content to make it easier to read and understand: https://www.w3.org/TR/personalization-semantics-1.0/

janina: this draft is being proposed as a normative extension to ARIA. Needs review on coverage and feasibility from stakeholders, including digital publishing.

jasonjgw: also have proposal from TPAC meeting last year, extending media queries specification to enable AT users to express preferences. Expected that this conversation between APA and CSS WG will resume, leading to experimentation with different properties that enable preferences to be made through media queries.
... hasn't seen any further discussion, but expects it to return to agenda soon

janina: work just starting on Media Queries 5, so there is an opportunity for experimentation now

jasonjgw: for RQTF, are there specific issues that would bear on W3C discussions that we should be focusing our literature search on?

janina: suggest we list some possibilities for review

sloandr will produce a wiki page as a place to collect personalisation-related research questions, definitions of components of personalisation for accessibility

Judy: opportunity for RQTF to update WAI-IG on our activity, on the topics the TF is discussing. A brief and regular update would be an opportunity for input from additional contributors.

janina: agreed, once we have the wiki pages ready (by end of next week)?

Update: Web of Things and accessibility

agreed RQTF should be reaching out to different overlapping but distinct communities (accessibility, developer, academia)

scott_h and shadi are both working in this area

scott_h: still working with researcher on pulling together literature, needs another 2-3 weeks before having something to share with the group

other topics

janina: feels good about the way this TF working to prioritise and address issues given current limited resources

<jasonjgw> There is general agreement among participants that the focus of the working group on addressing issues emerging in W3C accessibility activities is effective and useful, and that the quality of discussion within the Task Force is leading to good work.

<scott_h> thanks everyone
