Supervisor : Prof Tucker

2. Project recap:
SOLUTION :Generalization of tooltips (Audio & Video)

3. Implementation
Install add-on

4. Implementation
(2) Debug add-ons

5. Implementation
(3) Load Temporary Add-on

6. Welcome Page:
User selects preference
Selected preference redirects to either audio or SASL video tooltip window

7. Audio tooltip

8. SASL Video tooltip

9. Difficulties experienced
FIREFOX BROWSER ACTIONS LIMITATIONS
Unable to edit icons which cannot be removed
TOOLTIP DEFINED AS TEXT
Converting text to video and audio- editing not allowed
Difficulties
experienced

10. Changes from prototype
Extension for Firefox.
Tooltips positioned within extension rather than on the actual icon.
Changes from
prototype

11. DEVELOPMENT OF THE SOLUTION
SOLUTION 1 : CONVERT THE TEXT TO AUDIO AND VIDEO FORMATS
WHY THIS COULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED:
Tooltiptext : Predefined as a string
Browser action properties: Firefox has a list of predefined actions which can be implemented on a button and within the toolbar.

12. Solution 2 WHY THIS COULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED:
SOLUTION 2 : An on-click tooltip based on a pop-up event defined by Firefox
WHY THIS COULD NOT BE IMPLEMENTED:
On-click: Users would not be able to use the buttons.
No mouse-over:
Tooltips are always implemented on hover.

13. Arriving at final solution
Inspired by Instant Translate extension.
browserAction.onClicked: Fired when a browser action icon is clicked. This event will not fire if the browser action has a popup.
Researching other add-ons

14. Solution in detail
browserAction.onClicked: Fired when a browser action icon is clicked. This event will not fire if the browser action has a popup.
HTML Table stored with icons.
Wrote a JavaScript for mouse- over & mouse-on
CSS : positions the video in the correct place and sizing the video.

15. Tools used: SOFTWARE: HARDWARE: HTML 5 & CSS: Design of the UI
JAVASCIPT: Locating the icons
Creating mouse-over and mouse-out
Sizing and locating the video and audio in the correct place.
iMOVIE : Editing of video clips & adding subtitles.
SOUNDOFTEXT.COM : Creating the audio clips
HARDWARE:
VIDEO RECORDER : Recording all video clips

16. Project plan : term 4
Usability Testing : Sample of 4 Deaf computer literate users
Usability testing : determine whether tooltip should loop or not.
Implement changes from usability testing feedback.
Create the user manual: SASL, text, audio. Insert audio and SASL user manuals into extension.
Final usability testing
Complete documentation and final presentation
