Immersive Telepresence Experience Between Fukuoka and Tokyo
by Kensaku Komatsu and Toshiya Nakakura (NTT Communications)
In this demonstration, you can have an immersive experience to
control a robot in Tokyo, 800 km (500 miles) away from Fukuoka. As
this robot is controlled by WebRTC technology on top of our SkyWay
platform, anyone can operate it in immersive way from anywhere in the
world.
This technology will make it possible for physical remote tasks.
For example, in our field trial, we have accomplished a physical
initialization and re-configuration of a Cisco router in a remote Data
Center with this robot.
Testing the Performance of the Web by Extending WebDriver
Capabilities
by Christian Bromann (Sauce Labs)
Browser automation has come a long way and is finally now
standardized as a W3C web standard called WebDriver, developed by the
Browser Testing and Tools Working Group. WebDriver enables QA
engineers and developers to test their web applications in an
automated fashion and ensure a flawless digital experience. While the
industry is changing and cross browser testing is becoming less
critical in the QA ecosystem, other important aspects of quality
assurance rise up.
Sauce Labs is hosting the worlds' largest grid of browsers and
mobile devices in the cloud all run by the WebDriver protocol. The
company provides development and quality teams with instant access to
the test coverage, scalability, and analytics they need to deliver
quality web applications in a fast manner. Together with customers,
that run many thousand tests a day, Sauce Labs and their testing
experts are experimenting with new automation features that leverage
new technologies of today's modern browser.
In this demonstration we will show you, how Sauce Labs is using
Chrome DevTools functionality to offer frontend performance tests at
scale in the cloud. By providing an extended version of the WebDriver
Protocol, Sauce Labs users have instant access to commands that run
performance tests with the help of Open Source tools like Lighthouse.
Beyond browser vendors: Igalia and Open Source's unique roles in
Standardization
by Brian Kardell (Igalia)
Our collective ideas and approach to standardization have
changed and matured a lot in the last 30 years. Things have gotten a
lot better. Browser vendors, however, have always seemed to play a
critical role and thus had an exceptionally loud voice in the
standards process. A considerable number of things are often held up
because of simple organizational priorities, rather than significant
controversy or disagreement.
For more details, read Brian Kardell's related blog post.
Igalia helps remedy this by giving non-browser vendors the
opportunity to contribute to and advance the Open Web Platform in
concrete ways. Stop by and learn about the many modern and popular
features that we have helped advance, and how we help enable a healthy
ecosystem.
Shared Server Service 'Lolipop!'
by Yoshiya Taniwaki and Kensuke Yukimoto (GMO Pepabo)
We will introduce a Managed-Cloud plan and a new High-Speed plan
from "Lolipop!"
The Managed-Cloud plan from Lolipop! has both the flexibility of
a cloud service and the benefits of simplicity of being a shared
server. It allows you to make Web sites and applications easily and
that can respond to a very high number of requests. High-Speed plan,
which is a new plan released on Sept. 2nd, is easy to manage and
features the fastest level of server responses. We will display
information about the two plans from Lolipop! and send out a simple
survey about shared servers. Please come to learn about Lolipop! and
get our cool novelty gifts like stickers and more!
DiViNa
by Laurent Le Meur (EDRlab) and Luc Audrain (Hachette Digital
Innovation)
They are called manga, webtoon, bande dessinée or
comics depending on the country. When digital, these "visual
narratives" are read at home and on the move via native apps or on the
Web. This digital market is a huge reality in Korea and Japan.
By bringing together the actors of the book chain, the EDRLab
DiViNa Working Group aims at developing an open standard for digital
comics on the Web, based on Web publications: a descriptive language,
independent of any rendering technology, capable of conveying the
intentions of comics authors regarding the image structure, visual
constraints, transitions between images, snap points, sounds,
animations, layers and parallax effects. DiViNa stands for Digital
Visual Narratives, a mobile first generalization of comics, manga,
etc.
Currently incubated by the EDRLab DiViNa Working Group, the
Readium initiative is creating an open-source reading tool, that will
be proposed to the W3C Publishing Working Group as a profile of Web
Publications after being tested on different markets.
Simply elegant. Web Authentication, an API for accessing Public Key
Credentials
by John Fontana and Luke Walker (Yubico)
In March of this year, Web Authentication (WebAuthn) became a
W3C Recommendation, the final step in creating a standard API for
authenticating users to web-based applications and services. Based on
public key cryptography, WebAuthn is quickly finding favor with
companies and services looking for better security. What makes
WebAuthn so noteworthy is that all major platforms and browsers
support the API. This provides simple authentication methods that
protect against phishing attacks and creates a cross-platform and
standardized environment.
At the W3C developer meetup, Yubico will highlight this work
with a set of demos incorporating browsers, applications and mobile
devices.
