For documents, you can have a building directory document, but for consistency I think it should be the same for all 14:12:47 ... Fewer places where a document would be used 14:13:41 GreggVan: I am concern with this being an essential exception when it's really not 14:14:20 ... There's no way for the user to make it appear in the other orientation 14:14:38 ... So we are getting to a good place but using a faulty logic 14:14:52 ... I whink we should put an exception on it 14:15:20 ... WCAG2ICT -- this only applies when viewing in another angle is possible 14:15:36 ... EN -- add a precondition that viewing in another angle is possible 14:16:16 maryjom: This is the pr that we have 14:16:27 s/have/have for the precondition/ 14:17:17 maryjom: Maybe "if viewed" 14:17:26 GreggVan: "It's possible for it to be reoriented" 14:18:31 maryjom: Calculators can be reoriented 14:18:48 Mike_Pluke: It's whether the display direction can be changed 14:19:39 GreggVan: The ICT under discussion is software, not calculators 14:19:57 ... But it could be includes, you are right 14:21:18 GreggVan: "Where ICT includes non-web softwware that provides a user interface and it's possible for the non-web software to be reoriented" [...] 14:21:29 maryjom: It's possible to change the ui on the display 14:21:31 q+ 14:22:05 GreggVan: We do have the calculator problem that you are talking about 14:22:34 Mike_Pluke: One line of code needs to be changed (display orientation) and whether that happens automatically 14:24:02 [[Gregg proposes amendments in the google doc]] 14:27:20 documents do not have user interface 14:27:28 GreggVan: I worry about us taking the word "essential" 14:27:54 GreggVan: The provission says that if it's viewable in two dimensions it needs to be available in two dimensions 14:28:30 Mike_Pluke: Typical is not good on the precondition 14:28:55 ... The indle example is better, as there might be the capability within the device 14:29:41 GreggVan: "hardware that is designed to be reoriented" 14:30:01 "software for hardware designed to be used in two orientations" is good 14:30:16 Mike_Pluke: I am interested in allowing screen reorientation 14:30:35 GreggVan: It doesn't say you have to do something automatically. Allows is a permision thing 14:32:08 Daniel: Sometimes you put your watch on the right/left rist and it reorients 14:34:23 maryjom: Are we happy with this now? 14:34:26 Mike_Pluke: Yes 14:34:39 Mike_Pluke: Digital building directory was the other change we agreed 14:34:48 maryjom: Yes. 14:35:57 bbailey: Not quite working for documents 14:36:18 ... but I think overall it's OK 14:36:39 ... It may still going to need additional edits 14:37:13 GreggVan: For preconditions we have a formula 14:37:50 [[Participants wordsmith in the google doc]] 14:39:01 q- 14:39:08 q? 14:42:17 zakim, take up next 14:42:17 agendum 2 -- Font size items in the EN 301 549 including (4.2.2, 5.1.4, 9, 10, 11.1.4.4) -- taken up [from maryjom] 14:43:23 https://labs.etsi.org/rep/HF/en301549/-/issues/255#note_27031 14:44:20 GreggVan: Second to last at the bottom 14:46:22 ... in the issue, look at SUGGESTED RESOLUTION based on the above 14:46:39 GreggVan: Go with CSS pixels for normative stuff 14:47:16 ... provide fonts and distances only to provide grounding for those who have trouble with angles of view 14:49:11 Mike_Pluke: There's another harmonized standard for non-digital presentation 14:49:22 ... x-height 2.7 at 400 14:50:29 GreggVan: That'd be a CSS of 15. What we have on the screen exactly matches that 14:51:06 Mike_Pluke: They say x-height of 2.7 mm ARIA 14 point at normal weight 14:51:45 GreggVan: This would be a 9% difference 14:52:46 GreggVan: We could say the minimum font size should be 14 18 points 14:53:02 ... I am afraid it's getting pretty big 14:53:57 ... If we were doing CSS pixels, 15 CSS pixels would be 28 points, it may be excesively large for a kiosk 14:54:28 The counter proposal to Gregg's is: Best practice is for default body text to have an x-height no smaller than that of Arial with a font-size of 16 CSS px. On a 14-inch 1920×1080 display with no zooming or scaling, this corresponds to an x-height of about 1.2 mm, which would be appropriate for a viewing distance of 40 cm. 14:55:32 Mike_Pluke: 16 CSS pixels was the figure wwe were discussing in this thread previously 14:55:48 s/wee/we/ 14:57:09 GreggVan: At least we can agree on the language 14:57:55 ... and then we can sort out the figures later 15:00:39 Mike_Pluke: Not comfortable with the figures 15:00:58 ... Other expert in the field came back with another formula 15:02:03 GreggVan: But he contradictss ourselves. His last comment contradicts itself when he takls about x-hegiht 15:02:12 Mike_Pluke: But that's not specified directly 15:02:38 ... Compared to the x-height of something else, it need to be the same 15:02:48 Mike_Pluke: That formulation he's been using for quite some time 15:02:54 GreggVan: And I don't think it's useful 15:03:12 ... Is his more understandable than the one I am proposing? 15:07:44 maryjom: I'd suggest "At a viewing distance of 300mm/400" 15:09:23 [[Edits in the google doc]] 15:12:13 Mike_Pluke: At the typical vewing distance of an ATM the typical cap height should be 4.8 15:12:38 maryjom: Cap letter i 15:13:01 GreggVan: ARIAl 19 point font 15:16:25 q+ 15:17:34 maryjom: If we are not using CSS pixels, for software we should use density independent pixels 15:18:39 GreggVan: Nobody is using the display density that was used ten years ago 15:18:48 Mike_Pluke: That would date 15:19:41 Mike_Pluke: If we presented the two versions we have here to Phill he may be able to tell us something about them 15:20:10 maryjom: He's worried about the compatibility between the two specs 15:20:17 q- 15:21:17 s/Phill/Phil/ 15:25:06 zakim, take up next 15:25:06 agendum 3 -- New notes from EN on 1.2.3 and 1.2.5 -- taken up [from maryjom] 15:26:03 Daniel: What's the purpose of the discussion in WCAG2ICT? 15:26:09 Daniel: W3C/WAI doesn't support adding this note to WCAG2ICT, I will comment separately for the EN in the appropriate forum. 15:26:09 ... Inserting audio description in the existing gaps of a video is *not* the only way to provide audio description. You can provide an alternative video or provide a separate timed text file or synched audio file. Consequently, if the video doesn't have gaps you should use the other alternatives to be able to pass 1.2.5, which is where the real 15:26:09 issue occurs in this context. 15:26:09 -> https://github.com/w3c/wcag/issues/4460 Audio description no pause 15:26:11 -> https://www.w3.org/WAI/media/av/description/ Description of visual information (WAI Audio/Video media guide) 15:59:12 rrsagent, draft minutes 15:59:13 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/09/26-wcag2ict-minutes.html Daniel 16:06:22 zakim, end meeting 16:06:22 As of this point the attendees have been bbailey, GreggVan 16:06:23 RRSAgent, please draft minutes v2 16:06:25 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/09/26-wcag2ict-minutes.html Zakim 16:06:30 I am happy to have been of service, maryjom; please remember to excuse RRSAgent. Goodbye 16:06:32 Zakim has left #wcag2ict 16:10:11 rrsagent, bye 16:10:11 I see no action items 17:02:53 RRSAgent has joined #wcag2ict 17:02:53 logging to https://www.w3.org/2025/09/26-wcag2ict-irc 17:04:06 Daniel had concerns about this language providing an exception where Audio Descriptions would simply not be provided at all for A/V content simply because there aren’t any or are not big enough gaps to add description. Mary Jo mentioned that there is a technique to provide a separate audio track using extended audio description where gaps in 17:04:06 audio are added to insert the descriptions. Conclusion is to remove references to little gaps or zero gaps from the note. 17:04:26 rrsagent, draft minutes 17:04:28 I have made the request to generate https://www.w3.org/2025/09/26-wcag2ict-minutes.html Daniel
