Hi all, the W3C AR Community Group has been established and is now open for people to join. Great work on proposing the group Ya Knygar. Now I think it would be good to make some clear plans about what the goals of the group are and what the scope of our activities are. >From my perspective this would simply be: "The development of a Web Standards based model for Augmented Reality" If you have a proposal for an alternate goal/scope then please submit it and we can run a poll to select what the group runs with. Also, I don't think this group is going to work if we just automatically make everyone who joins a co-chair 8) At the moment everyone who has signed up has been made chair. I'd rather see us first establish the goals for the group, then run a poll to decide how the group will be managed and who the chair/s are. We don't need to be too formal...but a little structure would be good I think. We will also need to clearly define how this groups is different from the existing AR related groups that have formed already. I think the goal I've proposed above does that (e.g. focus solely on Web Based AR) ...but more discussion is obviously required. So, please join the group and get involved in this important discussion. http://www.w3.org/community/ar/ There's a lot happening and a lot of APIs that will directly impact the future of a Web Based AR are being defined right now. So now is the perfect time to get this up and running. roBman PS: I've cc'd all the related groups I'm involved in to encourage anyone with a stake in related technologies and APIs to join this group. PPS: I've also cc'd in the W3C Community people as I think this discussion is as much about Community Group process as it is about the content of our group.
