This could tie in well to what has been brewing in my mind since last
week's face-to-face meeting and the "mandate" to cover all physical
(including sensory) ("corporeal") interfaces. That is a sort of
taxonomical table as a working tool to assure we are covering everything
access. I'm not proposing this is the recommendation format to the
Access Board, but a way to organize our thinking and assure we are not
leaving any access considerations out. It may also help us deal with
the emerging/emerged technologies that don't fit neatly into the
traditional keyboard/GUI-Mouse/Display/Audio categories of old yore. I
also think it could quickly lead us to composing content because it
could feel like the issues are broken down into smaller, more tangible
chunks. The Heading row could include Interface; Category; Type
Interface Consideration (e.g., for, including the consideration list
below from Rob & Randy for today's meeting); Recommendation. Example
below (we could start plugging into as a group):



Interface Category Type
Interface Consideration (mobility, sight, hearing, cognitive)
Recommendation



I. Text/Number Entry

a. Keyboard


i. Standard Mechanical Desktop


1. Sight: "F" key Nub


Audio output (Beep when accepted)

Audio output for non-traditional key functions

2. Hearing: ???

3. Mobility: USB Port for Alt Keyboard/Pad

4. Cognitive:



b. Mini Keyboard/Pad

i. Non Tactile Touch

ii. Multiple function



c. Touch Screen



II. Visual Output (Display)

a. Large Screen

i. LCD-Backlit

b. Miniature Screen (Size denoted)



III. Ports

a. USB

b. Network





And so on.



I and another volunteer could initially populate it and share with the
list for continued population/additions/revisions, etc.



Can we discuss on today's call?
