Accessibility at the Edge, One Year On

[JaninaSajka]

Session description

Annual Review: Community Group's Work on Accessibility in Overlay Technology

Agenda:

1. Year-in-Review: Our Achievements
2. Deep Dive: Guided Reading of the Capabilities Draft Report
3. Getting on the Same Page: Terminology Discussion
4. Looking Forward: Next Steps

Details:

• Year-in-Review:
  • We'll discuss the major milestones and progress we've made in the past year.
• Deep Dive:
  • Highlighting Key Capabilities: Understand the capabilities present in COTS (commercial off the shelf) products. These are essential in evaluating and contrasting current technologies.
  • Future Potential: We'll discuss aspirational capabilities that hold promise for advancing accessibility, especially when implemented as edge technology.
• Getting on the Same Page:
  • Let's dive deep into the vocabulary we've come across. We'll carefully explore terms like "overlay", "user agent", "assistive technology", "browser extensions", and other edge-located add-ons to ensure a shared understanding.

@JaninaSajka, note I updated the description structure slightly to ease integration in the TPAC calendar: our code gets lost when it bumps on h1, h2, or h3 headings in the description of a session for now.
