A Journey Towards More Accessible Maps
summary
Work on Terrier adds concrete accessibility: a keyboard-driven orange selection square moves with arrow keys and reveals feature info, tabbing in modals now wraps, and visual cues get stronger so users can see which control is focused. The stack uses Leaflet (2D) and Cesium (3D) and the initial keyboard fixes take about two days to implement, are currently unmerged and need UX testing; the talk also highlights keyboard access and improved focus highlighting and explores future natural language generation for descriptions.
