Wiki

This wiki is open to all for contributions and collaborations. Changes to documents here should be made with care and typically only after discussion and consensus within the sub-committee or task force responsible for a particular document. The wiki documents form not only a mechanism for collaboration and discussion, but also form resources and documentation that will be used to generate the official TEITAC technical recommendations.

Requested

The list that follows was generated at the November plenary meeting. Subcommittees are also encouraged to solicite for presentations from here on the wiki home page.

  1. We are looking for a presentation on modern ICT products and low vision. The purpose would be to explain in both clinical and demographic terms the interaction of the principal forms of low vision with typical components and characteristics of common ICT products. For example, how does reflective glare affect the accessibility for users with glaucoma.
    • (Note: we got several recommendations of sources of such a presentation; please edit those into the wiki here. Thanks.)
  2. A presentation on cognitive impairment implications; one possible source was Prof. Clayton Lewis of University of Colorado and the Coleman Institute.
