Chrome Getting Native Gamepad, Webcam, And WebRTC Support In Early 2012
- lini 15y agoFrom a purely programming point of view, this looks like a very difficult task - different peripherals, different host systems. Kudos to their dev team if they can pull it off.
- drivebyacct2 15y agoNot to sound ungrateful, quite the contrary, but finally on the WebRTC stuff. I've been dying to get my hands on it.
- azakai 15y agoWebRTC will be awesome. It should get into Chrome, Firefox and Opera next year. No idea about Safari and IE.
- tagawa 15y agoThere's already a public Opera labs build with webcam support: http://labs.opera.com/news/2011/10/19/ http://labs.opera.com/news/2011/10/19/ EDIT: It's a dev build so there's no UI (i.e. it doesn't ask for permission to access the camera). There's also a known issue with some Anroid devices. (Disclaimer: I work for Opera)
- azakai 15y agoGreat, thanks for the info!

- tree_of_item 15y ago> Kinlan also said that an OnLive-type streaming video/game service is in the works at Google, which should come as no surprise. Google + integration is almost a certainty as well: “Blank is playing Modern Warfare 3! Click here to watch. Click here to rent.” This could be pretty cool if Google can execute well. If there's anyone with the infrastructure to make this work it's Google. I imagine they'd do things like let you click a game's trailer on YouTube and start playing a demo immediately, with some kind of psuedo-Hangout integration with Google+.
