Abstract. Multimedia content covers the Web, and we should provide access to all people. For this reason, it is very important to take into account accessibility requirements in the player to avoid barriers and to ensure access to this multimedia content as well as their resources. One of the most frequent barriers is the technological obstacle: the necessity for the user to install the required plug-ins in to order to access video. The new standard HTML5 provides a solution to this problem. However, it does not fully support accessibility requirements of W3C standards, including WCAG and interaction requirement of UAAG. This paper 1 introduces an overall study of this new standard in relation to accessibility requirements for the players as well as an accessible HTML5 Media Player.
Moreno et al. REF presented an overall study of HTML5 in relation to accessibility requirements and developed an accessible HTML5 Media Player.
