Although it is already possible to allow rich communication between web browsers, the solutions proposed are not interoperable as they require non-standard extensions to work.
WebRTC was imagined to solve this interoperability issue. It is an open framework for the web that enables Real Time Communications in the browser. It includes the fundamental building blocks for high quality communications on the web such as network, audio and video components used in voice and video telephone, conferencing and chat applications. These components, when implemented in a browser, can be accessed through a Javascript API, enabling developers to easily implement their own RTC web app. |

The future set of APIs will allow local media, including audio and video, to be requested from a platform, media to be sent over the network to another browser or device implementing the appropriate set of real-time protocols, and media received from another browser or device to be processed and displayed locally.
During the WebRTC conference, to be held in Novotel Wellness & Convention Centre Paris Roissy CDG, from 10 to 12 October, 2012, experts will address all technical and standardization issues that still need to be solved.
The call for proposals is open until
April 15 2012. |
