WebSockets was used for the recent Unumbered Sparks installation at TED in Vancouver. People below the sculpture could connect to a local access point on their phones and control lighting and color from a phone web view in their browser (http requests were redirect to the webapp a la login page)
I had the chance to try the sculpture and the projection was extremely responsive, the delay was not very noticeable even moving from phone > access point > renderer on a chrome instance > projector. I'm not sure how indicative of the general development progress this is, but the API seemed very capable.
There's more implementation info on the webpage:
