Vision

Mission: To enable consistent, accessible and trustworthy data exchange experiences for all,
and to make it easier for those designing and developing in our community to implement wallet based interaction design.

Why: The experience and security of any system operated by people depends on the information conveyed through user interfaces, the response of the users, and the interpretation of their actions. Existing interaction patterns in wallets tend towards visual-centric models and rely on inconsistent representations and interaction patterns. Trustworthy data exchange is a foundational building block in the infrastructure of modern society, for it to function as a public good it must be available and accessible to all.

How: Create a living repository of resources for community that:
articulates opinionated principles on trusted interaction mechanics 
highlights existing standards and examples 
recommends research-backed best practices (potentially the foundation for standards or certification) 
identifies new patterns to unlock novel experiences

1.  Initiation
   1. Consensus on vision, mission & process
2. Problem Definition
   1. What existing or emerging interaction rituals should we learn from or seek to understand?
      1. What cultural differences can we identify?
      2. How might we interact with wallets peer-to-peer, in the meta-verse, through a browser, in passive exchange,...
   2. What do we mean by wallet based interactions? What is the scope we want to address in this TF?
      1. Wallets, wallet wrapping applications, agents & associated services balloon to a whole basket of functionality.
   3. What are the challenges?
      1. Sense of control
      2. Decision making ability of individuals - especially in a credential rich future
      3. Tensions between holder, agent, custodians, ...
   4. What existing work is out there?
      1. eg Accessibility standards, research into consent mechanisms
      2. Other WGs needs or developments
      3. Ongoing wallet work (OWF, EUDI,)
         
         
3. Requirements
   1. Use cases and contextual scenarios to address.
      1. Payment for groceries, stop and search, enter a legal agreement, share medical records, buy a house, cross border..
   2. Interaction types to address
      1. Social interaction types (cooperate, exchange, coerce, compete, conflict..)
      2. HCI (instruct, converse, manipulate, explore)
      3. real-time, virtual, mixed-reality...
         
         
4. Design Principles
   Opinions to drive decision making and ensure consistent implementation.
5. Proposals
   
   1. Foundations
      Guidelines for core elements - sensory feedback, language, interactive states, ...
   2. Macro patterns
      Task oriented interactions
   3. Micro patterns
      Component level interactions
      
      --- DELIVERY of v1.0 ---
      
      
6. Consolidation
7. Working Drafts
8. Public Review Drafts
9. WG Approved Draft
10. ToIP Approved Draft

Proposal

• Working session - what is the scope of 'wallet' we want to address?
  • Use scenario building tools to start answering this question

• Start data gathering for problem definition! Build a collage of interactions. This will be ongoing work, perhaps we should get into the rhythm of opening or closing with a show&tell?
  • Examples of wallets, interactions
  • Challenges from those we work with, human stories, project insights, ...
