This session will provide an update on the approach and progress for the W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.

W3C Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 3.0 is a successor to Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 and previous versions. Changing technology and changing needs of people with disabilities require a new model to address content accessibility more comprehensively.

WCAG 3.0 will use a model that allows it to:

  • address more disability needs than WCAG 2,
  • incorporate publishing requirements and emerging technologies such as web XR (augmented, virtual, and mixed reality) and voice input,
  • facilitate maintenance, so that the new model will be more enduring over time as technologies evolve, and
  • include additional information about the ways web technologies need to work with authoring tools, user agents, and assistive technologies.
