Authentication - research questions.

<scribe> scribe: MichaelC

jgw: have developed questions for WebAuth WG

JS and I refining them, posted to list

https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rqtf/2017Jul/0007.html

sh: look good

mc: interleaving background and questions, people might miss the substance

suggest front-loading the questions or something

and make less ¨bureaucratic¨ sounding

jb: +1

js: will attempt to draft

<jasonjgw> It's agreed in discussion that we need to move the questions themselves to the forefront (the beginning of the message) and then introduce the background and context.

jb: perhaps orient them to the questions tersely at the top

sh: don´t discard the good parts, think the questions are clear and the background important

<jasonjgw> Janina volunteers to reorganize the material and Jason takes an action to review/assist.

<jasonjgw> Janina clarifies that we need to be clear as to what we're asking and how it intersects with their expertise.

<jasonjgw> Scott notes the possibility that Master's-level student coursework may intersect with some of the RQTF research topics.

<jasonjgw> It's agreed that RQTF would be interested in any findings arising from student projects related to current RQTF research topics.

Brief review of other topics - virtual reality, web of things, etc.

<jasonjgw> Scott cofnirmed that his plans to work systematically through the literature fit our proposed time-line for the VR investigation.

<jasonjgw> Judy suggests that it may be necessary to identify requirements earlier if the pace of development of the W3C's VR activity increases, as may occur.

<jasonjgw> Janina concurs with Jason that we already have the outlines of an approach that can be developed without too much more work, but additional analysis of the research literature will nonetheless be helpful in deepening and advancing the work.

<jasonjgw> Responding to Jason's summary, Janina suggests that objects created for the VR environment need to be supported by additional information - about modalities of presentation, metadata, etc., and this needs to be supported in the design of the VR environments. Elaborating the details is a more involved and complex project.

<jasonjgw> Scott raises the question of how that would be used (by assistive technology or elsewhere) embedded in the VR environment.

<jasonjgw> Janina clarifies that they need to embed the opportunity to create a multimodal VR environment, so that there are multiple sensory paths to accessing the virtual environment.

<jasonjgw> Jason suggests further reading of the literature, discussion thereof, and preparation of preliminary findings (e.g., architectural approaches) that APA can take up in its next meeting with WebVR.

<jasonjgw> Scott suggests integrating his research project's findings with the use cases/requirements developed by Shadi on the wiki following publication of his project's final report within the next few months.

<jasonjgw> Scott notes that the final report will provide more examples and framing of the accessibility issues.

<jasonjgw> We've provisionally agreed to prepare findings based on Scott's report, when issued, and Shadi's work on this topic; if findings are needed sooner than that, we can work on the basis of notes from last week and other materials that are available to inform our analysis.
