FPWD: RTC Accessibility User Requirements

RTC Accessibility User Requirements

https://www.w3.org/TR/2020/WD-raur-20200319/

Abstract

This document outlines various accessibility related user needs, requirements and scenarios for Real-time communication (RTC). These user needs should drive accessibility requirements in various related specifications and the overall architecture that enables it. It first introduces a definition of RTC as used throughout the document and outlines how RTC accessibility can support the needs of people with disabilities. It defines the term user needs as used throughout the document and then goes on to list a range of these user needs and their related requirements. Following that some quality related scenarios are outlined and finally a data table that maps the user needs contained in this document to related use case requirements found in other technical specifications. 

This document is most explicitly not a collection of baseline requirements. It is also important to note that some of the requirements may be implemented at a system or platform level, and some may be authoring requirements.

This is a First Public Working Draft of RTC Accessibility User Requirements by the Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group. It is developed by the Research Questions Task Force (RQTF) who work to identify accessibility knowledge gaps and barriers in emerging and future web technologies. The requirements outlined here come from research into user needs that then provide the basis for any technical requirements. This version is published to collect public feedback on the requirements prior to finalization as a Working Group Note.
