John Travoltage PhET Scenery Integration
| Task | Estimate | Person | Notes |
|---|
| Learn scenery | 5d | JO | It's an ongoing process. Learning things as I need them. |
| Integrate HTML demo with Scenery Model | 10d | JO | https://github.com/jobara/john-travoltage/tree/jt-a11y-89 - Added sliders for the arm and leg
- Linked the sliders to the model
- Adjusted the arm so the centre position pointed at the doorknob
- Added value-text to sliders
- Added discharge alert
- Alert works in most browser/platform combinations
Issues: - VoiceOver is reading the "aria-valuetext" twice
- Can we not clip the accessible content so that it is discoverable by dragging over the screen in VoiceOver on iOS?
- need to still be invisible so that they won't interfere with the sim
- VoiceOver on iOS prevents sound effects. Will play after VoiceOver is disabled.
- can scene descriptions be dynamic?
|
| Figure out how to calculate the closest position of the arm to the doorknob. Currently we are using a hard-coded number. | | | |
| Figure out how to transition the foot between points if jump keys are pressed (Pgup/Dn, Home/End) | | | |
| Figure out how to transition the hand between points if jump keys are pressed (Pgup/Dn, Home/End) | | | |
John Travoltage Sonification + Sound Effects
Sonification: A audio representation of data.
