Practical approaches to building accessible WebVR experiences #19

Open delapuente opened 6 years ago

delapuente commented 6 years ago

Define what enables an accessible VR experience; what are the do's and don'ts to provide functional and pleasant experiences for the physically or sensory impaired.

Here is my lightning talk suggestion

urish commented 6 years ago

@rdub80 I was also thinking to speaking about A11Y and A-Frame. Do you know what you will be covering?

rdub80 commented 6 years ago

Hi @urish - I have a few things that I touch on, my focus is on presenting a case for people with visible and motor disability, trying to solve UI problems. I will speak about a11y navigation & input mapping custom controls (e.g. my A-Frame GUI component ) and I will be showing my ongoing VR experiment I tested, featuring a blind user.

What do you want to talk about? do you have slides? We can coordinate so we don't have too much overlap - @urish let me know

delapuente commented 6 years ago

@rdub80 and @urish sure the topic extends beyond a 5-minute lightning talk so thank you for coordinating and figure out how not to overlap.

urish commented 6 years ago

Thank you @rdub80. I am thinking about showing what's the experience like for people with visual disability on the web today, and contrast it with the current experience they get in VR. Perhaps it could set up the stage for your talk.

rdub80 commented 6 years ago

@urish are you talking about general a11y (incl native mobile VR apps for GEAR & Daydream) and how the big players are approaching the subject like the ILMxLAB Survey in contrast to how the web has approached the subject in the past and what the differences are? Or are you mostly focussing on WCAG 2.1 and WAI-ARIA? 5min is certainly tight - I will have to fly over some of my slides depending on my delivery... here is my presentation, please share yours! Are you going to talk about your tests with the brainwave IOT controller?

urish commented 6 years ago

Looks very interesting @rdub80 , I am looking forward to your presentation!

My presentation will be a quick demo of what using a screen reader feels like (I assume some of the audience have never tried it for themselves), and then showing what the experience currently feels like on a-frame (very not satisfactory). I will probably mention WAI-ARIA, but definitely 5 mins is too short to go into it.

Brainwave IoT controller is definitely interesting, but unfortunately this time I am not travelling with it :)
