Live Zoom with Q&A tomorrow (December 2) about ARIA-AT project at Sight Tech Global

Hi All,

 

The ARIA and Assistive Technologies Community Group (aria-at), which is
currently focused on screen reader interoperability, is ramping up. After 3
years of research, discussion, experimenting, prototyping, and building, we
have a test format, extensible data model, a roadmap for automation, an
automation prototype, draft test plans for 40 APG examples (including more
than 5000 assertions) and a web site to manage test running, reporting, and
a consensus process. We are highlighting this progress and important moment
in the formation of the project at the Sight Tech Global conference.

 

As members of the ARIA community, we'd love to have your participation,
questions, and support during tomorrows Sight Tech Global breakout session. 

 

Time: 8:15 AM US Pacific Time on Thursday, December 2, 2021

Session titled: W3C ARIA-AT: Screen readers, Interoperability, and a new era
of Web accessibility

We produced an introduction video, an aria-at trailer if you will, to help
everyone understand what interoperability is and why it matters. It was a
serious passion project for some very talented people. We are now featuring
it on the ARIA-AT home page at:

Today, there was a main stage presentation (a panel discussion) at the Sight
Tech Global conference that provides an overview of the ARIA-AT project and
is goals. We started the presentation with the aria-at trailer. If you
missed it, you can view it on the Sight Tech Global YouTube channel. Here is
a link to the start of the aria-at presentation, which is 1 hour and 12
minutes in to the video:
