"Web authentication - research questions for Authentication Working Group" taken up [from jasonjgw] 13:09:57 [discussion of consensus in W3C process] 13:09:59 https://www.w3.org/Guide/ 13:12:28 jgw: Do we have qurom for a decision? 13:12:31 js: No 13:12:45 sh: Didn't we decide liast time? 13:12:48 js: Amost 13:14:39 https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rqtf/2017Aug/0004.html 13:15:18 js: OK with David's and Judy's comments. Will post revised draft 13:15:24 jgw: Will cfc, just for the record 13:15:53 zakim, next item 13:15:53 agendum 2. "Accessibility of Virtual Reality." taken up [from jasonjgw] 13:16:11 jgw: Thanks to SH for litt review 13:16:34 sh: Not as much depth as would have liked 13:18:43 sh: Useful consideration about pwds need to use their assistive tools even in VR 13:19:27 jgw: Do we build this into the VR apps? Or some kind of AT support? 13:20:52 Janina notes that assistive technologies designed for VR environments don't appear to be available; standards-based VR would allow such specialist components/technologies to be plugged into these environments. 13:21:28 Janina: having the level of the ground in a VR enviornment adjusted might be useful. 13:23:13 Janina: there's also the option of creating VR-based training environments to educate people who will be working with others who have disabilities. 13:23:48 Janina notes that these technologies should be broadly available - not restricted to clinical or other specialized settings. 13:24:38 Janina: example - simulator of the experience of a eprson with low vision. 13:25:57 js: Look at lighthouse.org for low vision 13:26:27 sh: Lots of scoping, but little prototyping/implementation 13:27:57 sh: Four key areas: 13:28:28 sh: 1. Underpinnings -- APIs and how to interface any required AT, vs what to build in 13:28:50 sh: 2. Provision of specific new AT -- virtual white cane 13:30:03 sh: Also adjusting heights vis a vis wheel chair 13:30:13 sh: 3. Simulation support 13:31:07 js: Virtual crutches 13:31:16 sh: Before you're handed the real ones to use for a few months 13:32:04 jgw: Coga people can find VR as useful as the real thing 13:35:22 Judy has joined #rqtf 13:39:03 zakim, next item 13:39:03 agendum 3. "Web of Things - use cases, scenarios and accessibility requirements." taken up [from jasonjgw] 13:39:25 sh: Not much to report -- research continues a few more weeks 13:39:49 sh: Will go beyond end of month a bit, but likely not past September 13:41:40 Janina notes the involvement of some internet service providers in aggregating Internet of Things-related data from devices on the user's premises. 13:42:36 Janina: examples - sampling and tracking of air temperature, traffic tracking sensors, monitoring water usage, etc. 13:43:09 Janina notes a well developed low-level protocol used in Europe. 13:43:40 Janina: interoperability resides at the wireless data communications protocol level. 13:44:32 The long life required of some of the batteries imposes power constraints that demand the use of specialized protocols. 13:48:51 Janina: it appears there are too many competing protocols, and this needs to be addressed before interoperability moves forward - insufficiently many devices with common protocols. 13:49:09 Actual deployment will take time due to the interoperability issues. 13:50:31 Janina offers to provide references to the competing low-level protocols. 13:51:41 zakim, bye 13:51:41 leaving. As of this point the attendees have been janina, scott_h 13:51:41 Zakim has left #rqtf 13:51:49 rrsagent, make minutes 13:51:49 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2017/08/23-rqtf-minutes.html jasonjgw
