Silver - A look at what to expect in WCAG 3.0
summary
WCAG 3 (Silver) expands scope beyond web content to cover apps, VR/AR, CMSs and assistive tech and replaces binary pass/fail with scoring 0–4 per outcome, where critical errors force a zero. Outcomes group testable methods (All, Technology‑Specific, Fallback), atomic and holistic tests, and functional categories like vision, cognition and mobility. Draft timeline: public working draft published November, complete draft late 2022, possible recommendation 2023. WCAG 2.2 adds nine criteria including 44px target spacing, visible‑focus changes, drag alternatives and accessible authentication.
