"Point of Regard - Others?" taken up [from allanj] 15:39:05 +Laura 15:39:11 +Jeanne 15:39:27 open item 1 15:39:30 Topic: Contrast & Image accessibility 15:39:51 Zakim, agenda order is 1,2,3 15:39:51 ok, AWK 15:40:48 https://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/low-vision-a11y-tf/wiki/LVTF_Open_Issues#Contrast_.26_Image_accessibility 15:43:03 q+ to say icon fonts may fall in this area also 15:43:23 q? 15:43:30 AWK: Text is clear and easier to resolve. But really rich images is quite difficult. My hope is provide flexibility without it being overwhelmin also be effective. 15:43:36 q+ 15:45:56 AWK: We have freedom in setting background and forground and not using color for meaning. There are graphs with lots of color, there are so many extra symbols. There is very complex data in quantititive graphs. 15:47:14 q+ 15:47:26 q? 15:47:30 ... opacity, complex symbolism. There needs to be room for inovation. Maybe there is more. There just needs a way for users to unpack it all. Need is all the information needs to be packed up. 15:47:52 awk 15:47:52 ack j 15:48:02 ack all 15:48:02 allanj, you wanted to say icon fonts may fall in this area also 15:48:51 q- 15:49:17 allanj: This brings up the icon discussions. Either image icons or unicode icons. Can we address these without calling them out explicitly. 15:49:27 q+ 15:49:34 ack jon 15:49:45 ... The user just wants to see it. 15:51:30 ack way 15:51:40 FYI I put my comments on the wiki 15:52:20 Wayne: icons. Wayne likes to keep print large and icons small 15:52:36 ... low contrast icons are a problem, especially ones that provide directions to do something 15:52:52 ... alistair made a good point that the meanings are not settled 15:53:16 ... but having visible icons that don't take up real estate is valuable 15:53:19 IMO emojis are used to communicate human language and details of emoji may be hard to see and need to be larger than text 15:53:35 jon: When difference in luminosity distinguishes luminosity. That is not well address. Difference in contrast must meet the contrast threshold. Complex maps. There are so many pattersn. Allow user to adjust to hide data. Customizations that would benefit users with low 15:54:07 ... and everyone. 15:55:24 action: jon avila to create user need for contrast differences 15:55:24 Created ACTION-37 - Avila to create user need for contrast differences [on Jonathan Avila - due 2016-03-09]. 15:56:31 AWK: Assume we are using color as the anchoring concept. Users can percieve all important information conveyed using color. 15:59:01 ... Not just images, but the core concept is (color?). The higher level is users can perceive all information... dreilling down users can percieve withoug relying on color. Add in other thatn color. A chart with a ping ... I'll use something other than color. A lot will be dynamic. There must be different approaches. 15:59:28 don't lose Jon's luminosity. 15:59:39 User Need: When differences in luminosity are used to communicate meaning including active, selection, and focus states, the difference in luminosity is sufficient between different states or additional means other than luminosity are used to communicate meaning. 16:00:18 q+ 16:00:52 action: jim to review 3.1 contrast/color user needs 16:00:52 Created ACTION-38 - Review 3.1 contrast/color user needs [on Jim Allan - due 2016-03-09]. 16:02:03 wayne: low vision users don't have access to @alt. use screen mag software to get access to @alt not for magnification 16:02:54 wayne: need some mechanism for @alt to be revealed on screen 16:03:54 The importance of UAAG 2.0 16:06:34 AWK: Is access to alt text a user need or user solution? I lean toward solution. 16:07:16 ... On complex graphs it may be alternative data, or may be access to alt-text. 16:07:18 user need access to content/data, attributes, some other mechanism 16:10:06 zakim, next item 16:10:06 I see a speaker queue remaining and respectfully decline to close this agendum, Wayne 16:10:14 queue? 16:10:17 ack way 16:10:34 zakim, next item 16:10:34 agendum 2.

If you pressed an escape tool. 16:14:43 JohnR: Have never seen what you are describing. 16:14:47 awk: perhaps mouse size tools could have a way to drop the size to normal, and then toggle back to expanded. 16:16:15 AWK: If the user had the information as to what is on the tip. 16:16:39 JohnR: Maybe it could be transparent. 16:16:56 ja: seems a problem with mag tools. cannot make this happen with large os mouse pointer...tool tips are always placed in a readable location. Author, browser, and OS have no control over mag software. 16:18:10 * have to step away for a minute 16:19:09 Clarification: By "it", I mean the "cursor" could be transparent. 16:19:46 Obscured information or functionaity with enlarged pointers and text. 16:20:35 next item 16:20:42 ACTION: Craft user need on obscured perception and operability 16:20:42 Error finding 'Craft'.

The information can be to much to fit. We need to modiry it so it does not have to fit into a 2cm circle. 16:25:30 Gotta go, folks. 16:25:45 q+ 16:25:58 allanj: There are thinks like tracks that take you to the objects. 16:26:14 rrsagent, make minutes 16:26:14 I have made the request to generate http://www.w3.org/2016/03/02-lvtf-minutes.html allanj 16:26:21 Section 508 refresh indicates 302.2 With Limited Vision. Where a visual mode of operation is provided, ICT shall provide at least one mode of operation that magnifies, one mode that that reduces the field of vision required, and one mode that allows user control of contrast. 16:27:02 wayne: lv person functions like a screen reader user. SR have 1 word at a time, LV user has limited view 16:28:21 wayne: this is important, how to find stuff. many messages, alerts are hidden. 16:28:48 wayne: low vision users need similar information to SR users. 16:28:52 ack way 16:28:56 ack jon 16:29:39 q- 16:30:15 jon: 508 refresh has at least one mode that facilitate limited field of view. 16:30:17 http://w3c.github.io/low-vision-a11y-tf/requirements.html#proximity-of-related-information 16:31:06 allanj: Are we covered. We are doing work on user settings. We are going to do some work on other areas.
