Dear WAI Interest Group Participants, In 2012, W3C WAI started work on "IndieUI" - Independent User Interface - to help web applications work better with different devices (such as mobile phones and tablets), different assistive technologies (AT), and different user needs. IndieUI defines a way for different user interactions to be translated into simple events and communicated to web applications. (For example, if a user wants to scroll down a page, they might use their finger on a touch screen, or click a scroll bar with a mouse, or use a scroll wheel, or say "scroll down" with a voice command. With IndieUI, these are all sent to the web app as simply: scroll down.) With IndieUI, web application developers will have a uniform way to design applications that work for multiple devices and contexts. To learn about IndieUI, see the Overview page at: http://www.w3.org/WAI/intro/indieui Today we published the First Public Working Draft of IndieUI: Events technical specification at: http://www.w3.org/TR/2013/WD-indie-ui-events-20130122/ We would like comments on this Draft by 22 February 2013 to the publicly-archived e-mail list: public-indie-ui-comments@w3.org To learn more about this work and how you can get involved, see "IndieUI: Events expands user interface interactions" blog post at: http://www.w3.org/QA/2013/01/indie-ui_events_fpwd To learn about other work related to mobile accessibility, see: http://www.w3.org/WAI/mobile/ Please let us know if you have any questions. Thank you in advance for your comments. Feel free to circulate this message to other lists; please avoid cross-postings where possible.
