Re: CFC - Device Sensors

I'm  confident that the mobile task force will be able to write an understanding for Device Sensors that contains lots of examples.

Here are a couple more beyond the classic shake to undo mentioned in the current understanding text:
- Tilt to advance to the next page
- Pan to change the view in an interactive photo
- Turn the phone to change map orientation
(this may have implications for COGA as well). This includes the growing area of augmented reality, for example, star maps.

And here are a couple more that bear looking into:
- GPS - someone providing remote eyes or interpretation for blind or map challenged folks may need a non-environmental way to control the GPS system on a remote phone
- Microphone - having to make a noise or give an audio- based answer

In a world where the communications paths to a computer are becoming more varied, it's inevitable that some communications paths won't be appropriate for all users. Folks who find it difficult or impossible to interact with sensors that measure the effects of the environment on a mobile device need practical, mobile-appropriate alternatives.  

Cheers,
Kim

However my big concern is that we only have a couple of months the vet 23 success criteria and put them in the shape that is ready for a formal consideration. We also have to write techniques and the understanding  sections. There are several success criteria I didn't have strong consensus and I am concerned about the amount of bandwidth they will take up once we get into the thick of finalization.
