Routing and Communication Channel Control

[mikecrabb]

General Description

Users of immersive augmented environments need to be able to route and configure their audio inputs and outputs to multiple devices. In that many users can choose to turn of images and use only text if they choose, or modify or zoom an interface, users should able to route inputs and outputs to where they choose in formats that they need. It is arguable that being able to customise audio routing preferences is the same.

Notes

This may have deeper architectural requirements such as access to browser plumbing.

Second screen (not only screens, can include braille devices)

[bruce-usab]

Per call 6/15, this requirement is deeper than second screen #129, as it is more involved for XR and plumbing (see note above in top card).

This requirement includes routing captions to a different app (e.g., using Discord for chat while gaming, rather than using in-game chat).

One possible more exotic example is XR captioning displaying to Library or Theater VR space.
