Discussion on mobile accessibility challenges

http://www.w3.org/WAI/GL/mobile-a11y-tf/wiki/Mobile_Accessibility_Challenges

detlev: should we check with the HTML5-WAI-ARIA task force?
... there may be some overlap

kathy: good next step is to have James and/or Loretta come to a meeting to tell us what they've been doing

<Detlev> This is the link to tests od ARIA Techniques, partly on mobile: http://3needs.org/en/testing/sr-aria.html

Kathy: our focus is native web apps as well as web sites

<agarrison_> Alistair - It would be useful to keep a track of mobile assistive technologies, and the capabilities and limitations

<Kathy> ACTION: Alistair Create list mobile assistive technologies, and the capabilities and limitations [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2013/12/13-mobile-a11y-minutes.html#action01]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-1 - Create list mobile assistive technologies, and the capabilities and limitations [on Alistair Garrison - due 2013-12-20].

Kim: what are the main mobile accessibility challenges?

agarrison_: a huge challenge - including huge libraries (JQuery) - the library is massive and takes a huge amount of bandwidth

<Jan_> JR: Key challenge: Custom widgets are a challenge on every platform (and as they become more complex WAI-ARIA becomes harder to use effectively).

detlev: different interaction paradigm
... swiping vs keyboard centric

detlve: touch vs keyboard input

Jan_: there are keyboard APIs built into iOS and Android
... the differences between touch and mouse result in accessibility problems

Kim: anyone have resources to go under missing information?

Kathy: what is frustrating companies trying to build mobile apps or web sites?

gavinevans: developing for different devices, different considerations, differences in touch guidelines

kathy: MIT did a study on different touch sizes

DavidTodd: work at IBM with dojo keyboard

Detlev: from a user perspective difficult to find out how to make your device more accessible

Next Steps

Kathy: there is a call next week, no call on the 27th
... need a good method of how to attack our next steps

<Kathy> trackbot, end meeting
