Meeting WCAG Level AAA
In this post, we cover updates we've made to our own site in order to better satisfy the requirements of the Web Content accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 Level AAA.
Foundations: accessible names and descriptions
An element's name, or accessible name, is how it's identified. An accessible description provides additional information, about the element, that complements the accessible name.
In this post we explore assigning accessible names and descriptions using HTML and WAI-ARIA.
Inclusive XR: accessible augmented reality experiences
In our second post about creating accessible experiences within Extended Reality (XR), we highlight some key considerations for designing accessible augmented reality (AR) experiences with our AR TetraLogical principles cube.
You can also explore Inclusive XR: accessible 3D experiences.
Foundations: pointer gestures
A pointer gesture is an action a person performs using their finger, mouse, or an assistive technology like a head pointer or eye gaze system to operate a functional control. Some pointer gestures can be difficult or even impossible for certain people to perform, so an accessible alternative may be required.
This post introduces the different forms of pointer gestures and covers how and when to provide alternatives for people who can't perform them.

Meet Graeme Coleman. Single-handedly propping up the Scottish arm of TetraLogical, Graeme has been tirelessly working towards better accessibility with us since the very beginning.
Adding sign language to videos
As part of our ongoing effort to meet the Web Content accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2.1 and 2.2 Level AAA, we've created British Sign Language (BSL) versions of our video and created BSL playlists in our TetraLogical YouTube channel.
In this post we explore our process for adding BSL to videos and share some tips.
Foundations: introduction to WAI-ARIA
The Web Accessibility Initiative Accessible Rich Internet Applications specification 1.2, or WAI-ARIA or ARIA for short, is a technical specification written by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C).
In this post we explore what WAI-ARIA is, and how it can enhance the user experience for people using screen readers.
