Notes on the WCAG Technique Sections
- Applicability: no change
- Description: The applet example looks quite dated - a better more recent example might replace that with the canvas element. Otherwise no mobile specifi changes.
- Examples: Use something like canvas instead of applet
- Related: no change
- Tests: no change

Original Examples
- An eye-hand coordination development applet has the following text alternative "Applet that uses the mouse and moving targets to develop eye-hand coordination"
- A camera applet that has a round disk where you push on the edges to control a remote camera and a slider in the middle for zooming has the following text alternative "Control for aiming and zooming remote video camera".
Proposed Examples
Add the following example:
- An HTML canvas-based game which trains users to locate hidden objects in a cluttered environment.
Original Description
Sometimes, a text alternative cannot serve the same purpose as the original non-text content (for example an applet meant to develop two dimensional rapid targeting skills and eye hand coordination.) In these cases this technique is used. With this technique a description of the purpose of the non-text content is provided.
Proposed Description
Sometimes, a text alternative cannot serve the same purpose as the original non-text content (for example an applet meant to develop two dimensional rapid targeting skills and eye hand coordination @@or an HTML canvas based visual efficiency skill building game@@.) In these cases this technique is used. With this technique a description of the purpose of the non-text content is provided.
