•For web sites – collections of
pages
–Today’s browsers
provide good flat UIs
•If AJAX is about web apps – richer
– not flat pages?
–Browsers need to
“deliver” the interface more like an OS does
–Not flat, not “page
based” and not without a cursor
–Need to use a more dynamic
interaction model on a fundamental level
–Need to really be
“apps” not “documents”
•e.g. like JAVA, GUIs from
wxWidgets, like a desktop in VNC
•If this occurs, even more
important that AT moves ahead to embrace this paradigm
•GUI apps work differently
to browser content but the line between them is fading
•Other responsibilities – Who is
responsible for what?
–Much the same story as
with standard web accessibility
