| * **WCAG2ICT** describes how Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2 can be applied to non-web information and communications technologies (ICT). We are updating it to include WCAG 2.1 and WCAG 2.2. [[WCAG2ICT Overview]](/standards-guidelines/wcag/non-web-ict/) _[AG WG, WCAG2ICT TF]_ | ||
| * **WCAG2ICT** describes how Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG) 2 can be applied to non-web information and communications technologies (ICT). In October 2024 we published an update that includes all WCAG 2.2Level A and AA success criteria. We are now working on Level AAA success criteria.

| ### Defining User Requirements (AUR) and Exploring Emerging Technologies | ||
|
|
||
| Documenting the user needs of people with disabilities helps develop standards to meet those needs. It also helps designers, developers, and others better understand and meet user needs in order to support accessibility. <cite>XR Accessibility User Requirements</cite> and more listed at [Digital Accessibility User Requirements](/research/user-requirements/). | ||

||
| <!-- | ||
| * **Natural Language Interface Accessibility User Requirements ("NAUR")** is a Working Draft. A natural language interface is a user interface in which the user and the system communicate via a natural (human) language. The user provides input as sentences via speech or other input, and the system generates responses as sentences delivered by speech, text, or another modality. [About NAUR](https://www.w3.org/blog/2021/10/natural-language-interface-accessibility-user-requirements-call-for-review/), [NAUR Editor's Draft](https://w3c.github.io/naur/) _[APA WG, Research TF]_ | ||
| --> | ||
|
|
||
| * **Collaboration Tools Accessibility User Requirements ("CTAUR")** is a Working Draft. It describes user needs in tools that provide support for one or more specific collaborative features. These features include real-time editing of content by multiple authors, the use of comments or annotations, and revision control. [CTAUR Editor's Draft](https://w3c.github.io/ctaur/) _[APA WG, Research TF]_ | ||
