13:10:02 <jasonjgw> Jason noted the significance of the papers from IBM Research, documenting efforts to make the PowerUp educational game (a VR environment) more accessible.
13:10:35 <jasonjgw> Their general appraoch was in line with the idea, discussed at our last meeting, of enhancing the VR environment with accessibility features instead of building an external assistive technology.
13:11:27 <jasonjgw> Jason also noted the interesting repertoire of VR accessibility features developed as part of this research, which sought to address a variety of access needs.
13:19:07 <sloandr> Current VR reference list is at: https://www.w3.org/WAI/APA/task-forces/research-questions/wiki/Virtual_Reality_and_Accessibility_References
13:21:04 <jasonjgw> zakim, take up item 1
13:21:04 <Zakim> agendum 1. "Accessibility of virtual reality: discussion of the literature" taken up [from jasonjgw]
13:22:07 <jasonjgw> We agreed to continue reading the appers and to add to the list of references on the wiki the initials of the person who volunteers to read each respective paper.
13:22:45 <jasonjgw> Although no specific research questions have yet been posed, the purpose of the work is to inform wider APA working group discussion of and responses to VR accessibility.
13:22:58 <Judy> agenda?
13:23:12 <jasonjgw> We decided to pose more specific questions after obtaining an overview of the literature, and to coordinate deliverables with APA (e.g., user requiremeents document).
13:23:49 <jasonjgw> zakim, next item
13:23:49 <Zakim> agendum 2. "Other topics currently before the Task Force" taken up [from jasonjgw]
