13:04:22 <janina> APA's joint meeting with WebVR is minuted at:
13:04:24 <janina> https://www.w3.org/2017/06/07-apa-minutes.html
13:07:27 <janina> janina: Heard two major concerns, WebVR is based on WebGL, and was suggesting an imperative accessibility API
13:11:49 <jasonjgw> Jason notes a wide-raning WebVR conversation at the APA meeting, encompassing access to VR-related assistive technologies, the potential use of accessibility APIs and assistive technologies to provide access to virtual environments, and the inclusion of accessibility features directly in VR applications.
13:12:29 <jasonjgw> He also noted discussion at the meeting of movement and dexterity-related issues arising from the physical demands of VR applications - issues that don't arise in accessible Web applications generally.
13:15:41 <janina> Scott: I can get this started, and dig up relevant research for us to review
13:16:29 <janina> jgw: Will also look
13:26:10 <janina> [general discussion on approaches]
13:39:28 <janina> [We believe pattern recognition may indeed be sufficient for visual and spoken content]
13:45:36 <janina> scott: Asks whether we're only about VR, or also AR?
13:45:48 <janina> shadi: Probably only VR for now--limited scopes.
13:46:03 <janina> shadi: First step at W3C is a Workshop, and it's VR that gained traction

13:49:33 <janina> topic: Updates on other issues
13:50:16 <janina> shadi: Noting Work Plan doesn't include WoT ...
13:50:48 <janina> jgw: Scott is doing our Iot/WoT literature review as part of another project that he will share with us once complete
13:51:02 <janina> jgw: I should probably update the WP
13:51:41 <janina> scott: We're now writing up our review, should be available in a few weeks
13:57:20 <janina> jgw: Anything before we close for today?
