The Augmented Web <\/strong>provides a unique perspective and often pushes standards and technical performance to their very limits.\u00a0 The Augmented Web<\/strong> integrates a wide range of disparate standards which means this group will provide feedback and submissions to a wide range of working groups and other communities.<\/p>\n

The list below shows each of the groups and the current issues that require feedback and discussion from the Augmented Web<\/strong> community.<\/p>\n

Specific wiki pages for each of these topics will be created soon, or feel free to create your own and start contributing now.<\/p>\n

Geolocation<\/strong><\/a>
\nThe accuracy of location varies most in the early stages of location detection and this is most noticeable when using the getCurrentPosition() API.\u00a0 A general discussion paper on how this impacts the User Experience across a wide range of geolocation based Augmented Web<\/strong> applications will provide useful and constructive feedback.<\/p>\n

Device Orientation<\/strong><\/a>
\nProviding examples of Augmented Web<\/strong> implementations using the deviceorientation() API will provide useful feedback.<\/p>\n

Device Motion<\/strong>
\nProviding examples of Augmented Web<\/strong>\u00a0 implementations using the devicemotion() API will provide useful feedback.<\/p>\n

Canvas Element<\/strong>
\nProviding reference implementations that show what a critical data-pipeline for image based signal processing the Canvas has become within Augmented Web<\/strong> applications.\u00a0 An exploration of where the current performance bottle necks are will provide useful and constructive feedback.<\/p>\n

WebGL<\/strong>
\nProviding examples of\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> applications utilising WebGL will provide constructive feedback and help with the aspirational goals of mobile adoption of WebGL.<\/p>\n

Addressing this issue specifically for Apple’s holding back of WebGL on iOS when it is already successfully implemented is a key topic for discussion.<\/p>\n

And acting as an advocate to help communicate to Microsoft that it will need WebGL support within MSIE on mobiles if it wants to truly compete in the Augmented Web<\/strong> marketplace.<\/p>\n

X3D Graphics<\/strong>
\nWorking with the Web3D Consortium and Declarative3D CG will be beneficial for our closely overlapping activities.<\/p>\n

Web Workers<\/strong>
\nProviding example implementations of\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> applications in a similar way to the Canvas examples discussed above will be key.\u00a0 Specifically with the focus on showing how important Web Workers are for parallel signal processing.<\/p>\n

Web Sockets<\/strong>
\nProviding example implementations of\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> applications using Web Socket based bi-directional communication will be key to showing how the\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> is more dynamic than any other form of AR.\u00a0 It will help to clarify the types of performance needs required for Web Sockets within the\u00a0Augmented Web.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Audio Element<\/strong>
\nProviding example implementations of\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> applications using audio elements will be useful.<\/p>\n

Video Element<\/strong>
\nProviding examples implementations of\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> applications using video elements will be useful.<\/p>\n

Web Audio<\/strong>
\nProviding example implementations that fuse Web Audio based spatialised sound with other sensor APIs will be provide constructive feedback and a great test case for showing how important timing and performance is within the\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> context.<\/p>\n

Typed Arrays<\/strong>
\nProviding example\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> implementations will show how critical Typed Arrays are to all forms of sensor integration and rich media\/signal processing.<\/p>\n

Media Capture and Streams<\/strong> (formerly known as getUserMedia)
\nSpecifically the issue of device enumeration and access to camera intrinsics is a key topic that requires much vocal involvement from the\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> community.\u00a0 This obviously needs to be balanced against security needs, however currently the term “fingerprinting” seems to be used as a universal tool for shutting down a lot of this discussion.\u00a0 Providing clear and rational feedback on the pros and cons of these features and some real use cases that show they are hard requirements will go a long way to helping this activity move forward.<\/p>\n

WebRTC<\/strong>
\nProviding example implementations that show WebRTC integrated into a wider\u00a0Augmented Web<\/strong> context will help to broaden the definition of “real time peer-to-peer” communication.\u00a0 The integration of WebRTC is one of the key enablers of the Augmented Web<\/strong>\u00a0 and together we can really capture the imagination of people all over the web.<\/p>\n

Community Groups<\/strong>
\nDeclarative3D<\/em> – http:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/declarative3d\/<\/a>
\nThere is an obvious overlap in the area of scenes and 3D presentation and there is already an active interaction between our groups.<\/p>\n

Locations and Addresses<\/em> – http:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/locadd\/<\/a>
\nThis group is newly reformed and we’re looking forward to collaboration between our groups.<\/p>\n

Read Write Web<\/em> – http:\/\/www.w3.org\/community\/rww\/<\/a>
\nThere is an obvious overlap between a Sensor Driven Augmented Web and the Read Write Web and there is already an active interaction between our groups.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
