You should focus — supporting different devices on the web (Chrome Dev Summit 2019)
226The Web is not just a document you browse through with your mouse and full-size keyboard anymore. The web developer community adopted to touch interaction with invention of smart phone, but now people are starting to access the Web through Assistant and feature phone. On top of that, there are plethora of assistive technology we keep failing to support.
Taking the learnings from supporting various input methods for PROXX and continued investigation with Go2Phone, I would like to discuss how to make the Web more accessible for everyone. Not just in the context of usual a11y which mostly focus on supporting disabled users, but in many different day-to-day situations in which we interact with the Web.
The talk may cover basic accessibility techniques like aria role and tabintex, as well as more new interaction like voice and spatial navigation. The ultimate goal of this talk is to make sure everybody realizes that they need to build accessible web apps because that's what they have to to support their regular users, not just disabled users.
