I'm happy to offer the XR Access Zoom - we have a subscription through
Cornell. (By the way, Zoom now has a special window for interpreters - we
might try using it and seeing if we can keep camera on for everyone, since
I know that can be more engaging for some folks.)
Also, here were my followups:
- The Owlchemy Captions video
<https://youtu.be/dyYnc-1A0ac?si=iOTVN5G_JXWWGiAh> from the 2024 XR
Access Symposium has a lot of great details on size, opacity, etc. that we
may want to incorporate into the report, though some of it will apply more
to 6DoF VR than 360.
- If anyone is interested in the Metaverse Standards Forum Accessibility
exploratory group
<https://sites.google.com/xraccess.org/msf-accessibility/home>, we meet
every other Friday at 9am PT; the next one is the 6th. Our long term goal
is to create a WCAG-like comprehensive XR accessibility checklist
(including captions!) and facilitate its adoption and implementation.
Currently awaiting approval to become a formal MSF working group. Michael
Cooper, Erin Leary, James Maki and I are co-chairs.
- I wanted to confirm - this is our latest report, right? "Recommendations
for accessible captions in 360 degree video | Final Community Group Report
08 April 2024"
<https://w3c.github.io/immersive-captions-cg/360-captions/>
- How far did we get on Social VR captions? I know we discussed it some
and had started this "Captions in XR Design Guide
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1mKOGBMKLSdF9Zg8pLr_KhZyg8m10lTvZ3Vsap55KT2g/edit>"
with some resources but can't remember if we had anything more formal than
that. Would be great to resume that work.
I don't think I had the bandwidth at the time to contribute as a formal
editor of the report, but @Janina I would be happy to apply as an "invited
expert" on this or other topics if you can share the link - would love to
contribute to the APA/RQTF's work!
Best,
Dylan
