You can build cool stuff with WebRTC in five minutes
- deanclatworthy 13y agoI'm afraid I could not get the demo work when I click create room nothing happens. But it's nice to see more libraries popping up around this technology.
- pasiaj 13y agoWe're testing remote 3D rendering over WebRTC. We render the 3D world in the cloud. Video and controls go over a WebRTC-connection. I wrote a simple nodejs websocket server to handle the signaling. It has been a quite wonderful experience despite the tech being somewhat experimental. Google Chrome offers excellent tools (chrome://webrtc-internals/ & chrome://webrtc-logs/). First I wrote the client and a mock server to work in the browser while a colleague started implementing webrtc to work in the renderer with the PeerConnectionpp-lib. Debuggin was awesome, when you had a working mock renderer in the browser. All the bugs I encountered we're my own and I found all the answers I needed in the dev API doc: http://dev.w3.org/2011/webrtc/editor/webrtc.html http://dev.w3.org/2011/webrtc/editor/webrtc.html
- netcraft 13y agoThis is quite interesting. Does this mean all clients are seeing the same video rendering? What made you do it this way rather than render on the client and update positioning over WebRTC? Regardless id love to read more about your progress if you have anything written down.
- pasiaj 13y ago> Does this mean all clients are seeing the same video rendering? Yes - all clients connecting to the same renderer instance are seeing the same video. > What made you do it this way rather than render on the client and update positioning over WebRTC? This is a part of a larger [research project](https://forge.fi-ware.eu/projects/miwi/ https://forge.fi-ware.eu/projects/miwi/) to create and test the viability of different kinds of UI enablers. One use case for cloud rendering is low-end mobile devices that can't handle the rendering of complex 3d-scenes. Or you could create a live presentation using a 3D world, eg. about an architectural design. Other people in the project are building tools on top of WebGL to do the rendering in the browser - mainly porting the [realExtend toolset](http://realxtend.org/ http://realxtend.org/) to Javascript. Everything I do will be released as open source later on. I'll give you a shout when we got something to show.

- latentflip 13y agoWe've fixed it now, sorry about that!
- MrBuddyCasino 13y agoThere are hardly any infos on how to install the signalmaster, and I'm a complete noob regarding node.js - is there a guide or something?
- maaaats 13y agohttps://appear.in/ https://appear.in/ Is a service built using WebRTC and AngularJS. Just share an URL and people can videochat in the browser.
- l0c0b0x 13y agocouldn't get the room to work, but was able to find a web demo application for webrtc that is supposed to work for both firefox and chrome: Room: https://apprtc.appspot.com/?r=08426541 https://apprtc.appspot.com/?r=08426541
- latentflip 13y agoAs is typical, the day someone posts simplewebrtc to hackernews is the day our demo app (talky.io) goes down! We're on it and should have it back up really soon. Sorry!
- latentflip 13y agoAnd we're back, demos should work again at http://talky.io http://talky.io Thanks everyone.
- alecsmart1 13y agoUnfortunately, without IE supporting webrtc, we can't go mainstream with this. Is there any plugin that can be used to make IE compatible?
