The Edge of HTML5 and What's new in HTML5 Media
Two very interesting web-presentations (Edge of HTML5, What’s new in HTML5 Media) by Eric Bidelman of Google on the current bleeding edge of HTML5 as of Jan 2012, touching on interesting to game-development topics as:
- Transferable Objects (for zero-copy transmission to webworkers and back)
- Mouse Lock / Pointer Lock API (Chrome 18/FF11 or 12)
- GamePad API
- requestAnimationFrame
- Camera & Microphone access
- Fullscreen API
- Web Audio API
Many of the examples require a nightly build of Chrome or Firefox or a preview build of Opera.
