Closed functionality list - suggested additions #466

Open matatk opened 1 month ago

matatk commented 1 month ago

Section in document: 'Examples of technology that may have closed functionality'

The closed functionality list is accommodating, but could be expanded to include the following:

  1. Medical devices such as digital blood pressure monitors, glucose metres, or other wearable devices.

  2. Educational devices like whiteboard, smart boards.

  3. Gaming platforms or consoles.

It's noted that some games consoles have extensive accessibility features (especially with respect to controller hardware, and sometimes including TTS functionality) but that, as per the note in this section of the document, not all of these aspects are open to user choice.

This issue comes from APA WG - thanks to @nehamjadhav for this issue

@nehamjadhav thank you for your review of the WCAG2ICT draft Note and your comment.

We have made adjustments to the examples of technology that may have closed functionality provided in the key term definition of “closed functionality” per your comment. We added two bullets (# 1 and 2) as you suggested, and added the gaming examples to the bullet regarding entertainment technologies. You can read the changes in Pull request 486, and in the context of the latest editor’s draft, in the Key Terms section on “closed functionality”.

Please respond to let us know that this sufficiently addresses your comment.
