RE: Do we want a Biometric Alternative SC in WCAG 2.1?

Gregg,

 

I think it depends on how sophisticated sensor web applications become, because they are advancing very rapidly and how they interact with the secure hardware elements in devices….

that is a hardware requirement — 

 

there is no way for an author to add a physical device to their website. 

 

am I missing something?

What I would like to suggest is an additional and different SC that requires at least two types of biometric options.

Yes - that is what it says the AUTHOR must do.  

 

To make content “Keyboard operable”  you must make sure that it is operable via the content or user agent's keyboard interface.  

 

Then anything that feeds keystrokes to the user agent (browser) will be able to control the content.    (keyboard, voice to text, sip and puff program, etc)

 

The author doesn't actually make it usable from the physical keyboard.  they make it accessible from the keyboard interface of their software or the user agent.

Thanks David,

 

Well,  also allowing for an alternate biometric as well as via text input…..

 

Can you point me to the Biometric that you are talking about?

yup... we currently require any input including Bio-metric,to be keyboard accessible, but perhaps there is room for more.

 

It might fit into Patrick's wider "input" conversation, categorizing input devices (camera, shaking manipulating, etc.) into three broad categories, with perhaps a special category. It's a conversation in the mobile task force that has just begun but I guess will spill out because of it's general nature.

Folks,

 

Along the same lines as the ‘Functional Performance-like’ SC, do we want discuss including a Biometric Alternative SC in WCAG 2.1?

 

​​​​​Thanks!
