13:06:30 <janina> scribe: janina
13:06:42 <jasonjgw> zakim, take up item 1
13:06:42 <Zakim> agendum 1. "Web authentication - research questions for Authentication Working Group" taken up [from jasonjgw]
13:09:57 <janina> [discussion of consensus in W3C process]
13:09:59 <janina> http://www.w3.org/Guide/
13:12:28 <janina> jgw: Do we have qurom for a decision?
13:12:31 <janina> js: No
13:12:45 <janina> sh: Didn't we decide liast time?
13:12:48 <janina> js: Amost
13:14:39 <jasonjgw> https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rqtf/2017Aug/0004.html
13:15:18 <janina> js: OK with David's and Judy's comments. Will post revised draft
13:15:24 <janina> jgw: Will cfc, just for the record
13:15:53 <jasonjgw> zakim, next item
13:15:53 <Zakim> agendum 2. "Accessibility of Virtual Reality." taken up [from jasonjgw]
13:16:11 <janina> jgw: Thanks to SH for litt review
13:16:34 <janina> sh: Not as much depth as would have liked
13:18:43 <janina> sh: Useful consideration about pwds need to use their assistive tools even in VR
13:19:27 <janina> jgw: Do we build this into the VR apps? Or some kind of AT support?
13:20:52 <jasonjgw> Janina notes that assistive technologies designed for VR environments don't appear to be available; standards-based VR would allow such specialist components/technologies to be plugged into these environments.
13:21:28 <jasonjgw> Janina: having the level of the ground in a VR enviornment adjusted might be useful.
13:23:13 <jasonjgw> Janina: there's also the option of creating VR-based training environments to educate people who will be working with others who have disabilities.
13:23:48 <jasonjgw> Janina notes that these technologies should be broadly available - not restricted to clinical or other specialized settings.
13:24:38 <jasonjgw> Janina: example - simulator of the experience of a eprson with low vision.
13:25:57 <janina> js: Look at lighthouse.org for low vision
13:26:27 <janina> sh: Lots of scoping, but little prototyping/implementation
13:27:57 <janina> sh: Four key areas:
13:28:28 <janina> sh: 1. Underpinnings -- APIs and how to interface any required AT, vs what to build in
13:28:50 <janina> sh: 2. Provision of specific new AT -- virtual white cane
13:30:03 <janina> sh: Also adjusting heights vis a vis wheel chair
13:30:13 <janina> sh: 3. Simulation support
13:31:07 <janina> js: Virtual crutches
13:31:16 <janina> sh: Before you're handed the real ones to use for a few months
13:32:04 <janina> jgw: Coga people can find VR as useful as the real thing

13:39:03 <Zakim> agendum 3. "Web of Things - use cases, scenarios and accessibility requirements." taken up [from jasonjgw]
13:39:25 <janina> sh: Not much to report -- research continues a few more weeks
13:39:49 <janina> sh: Will go beyond end of month a bit, but likely not past September
13:41:40 <jasonjgw> Janina notes the involvement of some internet service providers in aggregating Internet of Things-related data from devices on the user's premises.
13:42:36 <jasonjgw> Janina: examples - sampling and tracking of air temperature, traffic tracking sensors, monitoring water usage, etc.
13:43:09 <jasonjgw> Janina notes a well developed low-level protocol used in Europe.
13:43:40 <jasonjgw> Janina: interoperability resides at the wireless data communications protocol level.
13:44:32 <jasonjgw> The long life required of some of the batteries imposes power constraints that demand the use of specialized protocols.
13:48:51 <jasonjgw> Janina: it appears there are too many competing protocols, and this needs to be addressed before interoperability moves forward - insufficiently many devices with common protocols.
13:49:09 <jasonjgw> Actual deployment will take time due to the interoperability issues.
13:50:31 <jasonjgw> Janina offers to provide references to the competing low-level protocols.
13:51:41 <jasonjgw> zakim, bye
13:51:41 <Zakim> leaving.  As of this point the attendees have been janina, scott_h
