13:04:23 <Zakim> agendum 1. "The Web of Things and Accessibility." taken up [from jasonjgw]
13:04:24 <janina> scribe: janina
13:04:27 <janina> present+
13:04:33 <janina> chair: Jason
13:04:58 <janina> jgw: We have Scott's WoT project report
13:05:18 <Judy> present+ Judy
13:07:36 <janina> sh: And with thanks to Shadi for helping formulate our research questions
13:08:27 <janina> sh: Amazon Echo seems to have been an inflation point from consumer perspective
13:09:36 <janina> sh: Noting study subjects were each from a different disability group
13:09:54 <janina> sh: Unfortunately, we couldn't use Echo because not supported in Australia
13:10:01 <janina> sh: At the moment it's all Google Home
13:10:27 <janina> sh: People were aware, but not experienced
13:10:59 <janina> sh: We were most interest in educational applications
13:11:08 <janina> sh: All our people were Android smart phone users
13:12:04 <janina> sh: Interoperability between Android and Windows laptops was a high concern for participants
13:12:37 <janina> sh: Participants expected that a classroom smart board could be automatically fed to their devices
13:13:26 <janina> sh: Also looked at support for environmental integration, e.g. the campus app
13:13:42 <janina> sh: i.e. room temp
13:14:27 <janina> sh: privacy and security were concerns, of course
13:15:33 <janina> sh: Thoughts on using sensors to keep attention focus
13:16:01 <janina> sh: Was it OK to monitor people all the time?
13:16:44 <janina> sh: Was interest in adding smart speakers to AT lab equipment
13:17:19 <janina> sh: Question of real time captioning support arose
13:19:54 <janina> sh: Notes permission to post their report anywhere

13:20:02 <shadi> q+
13:20:02 <jasonjgw> q?
13:20:13 <janina> ack sh
13:21:28 <jasonjgw> q+
13:21:51 <janina> sa: Suggesting we consider how to apply
13:23:41 <janina> jgw: Likes broadcasting the smart board idea--sees much applicability
13:24:10 <janina> q+ to ask whether smart board is more than picsels
13:24:17 <janina> ack jas
13:25:05 <janina> jgw; Notes this would require advanced recognition, e.g. handwriting
13:25:08 <janina> ack ja
13:25:08 <Zakim> janina, you wanted to ask whether smart board is more than picsels
13:25:55 <janina> jgw: So, how do we architect building that in where users need that?
13:26:27 <janina> q+ to ask about multiple speech streams
13:27:46 <janina> jgw: Notes interoperability needs to be available across platforms, not just single vendor
13:28:28 <janina> jgw: Seems the in the moment access is also important
13:32:09 <janina> jgw: Noting we don't yet know how to provide access to local sensors while people move through various environs
13:32:44 <jasonjgw> ack
13:34:31 <jasonjgw> Janina: inquires whether paying attention to smart devices may itself constitute a distraction (or a source of distraction), and whether this may in some cases (e.g., regulating environmental temperature) be too much of a price to pay for the benefits.
13:35:11 <jasonjgw> Janina draws an analogy with the use of mobile devices while driving.
13:35:48 <jasonjgw> Janina raises the question as to the effect of dividing attention (visual, auditory).
13:38:46 <janina> [discussion of appropriate handling of contextual device access]
13:40:22 <jasonjgw> Janina: the use cases just discussed also inform APA work regarding the need to be able to delay/suppress notification quickly and easily.
13:47:04 <janina> jgw: Information filtering -- what's appropriate and helpful, vs distracting?
13:47:11 <Judy> q+
13:47:51 <janina> jb: Believe this is an important point to feed to AU
13:48:01 <janina> s/AU/AG/
13:48:45 <janina> jb: Impact on people with distractability issues needs to be explored carefully
13:51:11 <jasonjgw> Janina inquires whether we have sufficiently good use cases to start meeting with Web of Things developers.
13:55:19 <janina> jgw: We need better realtime authoring support, to incorporate structure, text, graphics, and structured logical expression, e.g. math
13:58:33 <janina> js: Followup required with useful realtime smartboard
14:02:38 <janina> sh: Noting local movement can be annotated by tracking which pwd took which routes
