Meeting minutes
XR Accessibility User Requirements - open issues.
jasonjgw: Making some progress on resolving COGA comments
Joshue108: COGA team is working on feedback, and we hope to have an update perhaps next week
Synchronization Accessibility User Requirements.
judy: Agenda in the new event information format doesn't include links
jasonjgw: We decided to point people to the wiki page where all the documents live, which is listed in the agenda
jasonjgw: We agreed to move the info in the media sync wiki to a new document as we move to a note
jasonjgw: The format still needs to be addressed to meet W3C style
janina: Hope to have a draft ready by TPAC
jasonjgw: Steve is still adding material to incomplete sections, which will be integrated
jasonjgw: We are trying to define acceptable levels of tolerance for synchronization for things like video and audio, captions, etc.
janina: These become more difficult in live environments
janina: Still looking for more research on this
raja: There is some research, but it depends on the viewer
raja: For captioning there should not be a delay, but for someone who is deaf a short delay is acceptable
raja: For sign language, there has to be a delay
raja: Can provide some additional references
jasonjgw: This seems consistent to what we have found so far, but we would like to obtain further research references
raja: Will look at the current references in the draft
Accessibility-related transformation of audio media (including seizure avoidance and audio enhancements).
jasonjgw: There are topics such as addressing audio stimuli that can trigger seizures, also transforming audio to help make it more audible
janina: What direction de we want to go with this research?
judy: May need to be addressed on 2 levels - on the platform level and then on the content level
janina: Some discussions have occurred in APA
jasonjgw: On the audio side, then there may be need for an individualized filter on the users device
jasonjgw: The problem may be defining the frequency threshold for the individual
janina: The ability to filter audio is the easy part; defining what frequencies need to be filtered on the individual level is the difficult part
jasonjgw: How do we want to pursue this?
judy: Will forward a paper from a colleague, and will invite them to help our discussion
Accessibility of remote meetings.
jasonjgw: Scott has been working on this with Judy
judy: We are continuing to discuss. We still have several random discussion points which have not been categorized to align with other requirements
jasonjgw: Some of the open issues may have been resolved
jasonjgw: Let's resume this conversation after that has been sorted out
Web of Things and Devices and Sensors use cases.
<Zakim> Joshue, you wanted to mention comms effort with WoT
Joshue108: Contacted the WOT group
Joshue108: To remind then and ask for an update, but have not heard back yet
janina: One question is whether there is something accessibility specific
janina: The activities were not directed to things like AT
jasonjgw: Let's revisit these and discuss on the next meeting
Joint working group meetings at TPAC 2021.
judy: We could perhaps introduce the audio transformation concept
Natural Language Interface Accessibility User Requirements.
jasonjgw: Have been working on some of the issues, added some changes and addressed some comments in a separate branch
