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.
