MATF meeting on July 3, 2024
[Source](https://www.w3.org/2024/07/03-matf-minutes.html#t02)
Do we have any bad examples of failures of 1.3.3 failures?
Sorry examples of failures
They don't have to be bad
I suppose line charts are good examples here
jj: don't see this happening too often. Tabbar without text, where the selected tab has another color.
I like the Tab Bar example
Android charts are a nightmare
jj: not so many charts, Android charts are difficult to make accessible
SongBirdCharts is a good resource if folks are interested, but it's old
GleidsonRamos: link with iOT, control the lights of the house. Use sensory characterictits to show if sth is on or off
jj: if you are blind, could be difficult to know if the lights are on or off
I love https://www.w3.org/WAI/WCAG21/Understanding/sensory-characteristics.html - great discussion around it
agree to adding haptics
to the list
Joe_Humbert: what we could add to this def is haptic feedback, it is a sensory characteristic.
Joe_Humbert: more used on mobile devices as on desktop
jj: open list, haptics could be on this list
jj: cannot think of any example where there is only haptics
jj: maybe there are some examples there
I think it's still good to add because devs may not realise that not all devices have haptics
or even haptics enabled
Where ICT is non-web software that provides a user interface, it shall satisfy the WCAG 2.1 Success Criterion 1.3.3
Sensory Characteristics
AlainVagner: in EN 301 549 they haven't added anything to this criterion
it could be as simple as just an matf note to 1.3.3 to specifically mention haptics?
Detlev: in the european Norm there are some SC in section 5 about physical characteristics
https://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_en/301500_301599/301549/03.02.01_60/en_301549v030201p.pdf#page=23
Detlev: we could check those things, in table A.2 for mobile apps
+1 to Joe
jj: could be a note
jamie: should be thinking about adding techniques? they are not available in the WCAG understanding document
jj: techniques are meant for the web.
jamie: could we push to have more inclusive techniques
jamie: our document could include techniques, at least discuss how haptics could be used in an accessible way
jamie: in a non prescriptive way but as a guidance
jj: could be difficult on the same document, but could be done
Joe_Humbert: reach out to WCAG3 group, working on this kind of stuff, we could reuse the existing work
Joe_Humbert: things that we could review and fill the gaps
jj: WCAG 3 transforming to be more platform agnostic
jj: outcomes more platform agnostic
https://www.w3.org/TR/wcag-3.0/#haptic-stimulation
jj: agree would be great to learn if they are really considering native mobile
jj: setup a meeting with WCAG2ICT, to discuss issues raised in our group, like set of software
WCAG 3.0 does include haptics
jj: see how we could backport some of our guidance to WCAG2ICT
WCAG2ICT should realistically have haptics as well
jj: more collaboration is needed here with the other groups, as mentioned in our work statement
detlev: active in WCAG3. just good to know that it will take some time. Not yet at the stage where they are writing techniques. the active group is quite small
Detlev: good to do sth on techniques, if there is a clear way to test on mobile
sth?
*something
(sorry globish abbreviation)
jj: agrees
Detlev: other groups want to avoid scope creep
jj: would be nice to reach consensus on some SC
can we move to the next agenda item?
jj: mentions appt.org and ?? other resources
Summary:
Examples of Failures for 1.3.3:
Quintinb: Inquired about examples of failures for SC 1.3.3.
JJ: Mentioned the challenge with tab bars without text where the selected tab has a different color.
Quintinb: Liked the tab bar example and noted that Android charts are difficult to make accessible.
Gleidson Ramos: Provided an example related to IoT, such as controlling lights with sensory characteristics.
Inclusion of Haptics:
Quintinb, Joe Humbert: Agreed on adding haptic feedback as a sensory characteristic, noting it is more common on mobile devices.
JJ: Open to including haptics in the guidelines, though finding exclusive haptic examples is challenging.
Alain Vagner: Mentioned that EN 301 549 has not added anything to this criterion.
Detlev: Referred to physical characteristics in the European Norm and suggested checking table A.2 for mobile apps.
Jamie: Suggested adding non-prescriptive techniques for haptics to provide guidance on their accessible use.
Collaboration with WCAG3 Group:
Joe Humbert: Recommended reaching out to the WCAG3 group to review and possibly reuse existing work related to haptics.
JJ: Noted that WCAG 3 is transforming to be more platform-agnostic and outcomes should reflect this.
Jamie: Shared a link to WCAG 3.0, which includes haptics.
Detlev: Emphasized the need for more collaboration but warned of potential delays as WCAG3 is still in early stages.
Development of Techniques:
Jamie: Proposed that MATF could develop and include techniques for mobile accessibility, even if not prescriptive.
JJ: Agreed but noted that it could be challenging within the same document. Suggested discussing how to backport some guidance to WCAG2ICT.
Detlev: Supported the idea but highlighted the importance of clear testing methods for mobile techniques.
