New DAS WG Charter approved and operational

Hi DAS WG participants,

As announced by the W3C Director [1], the new Devices and Sensors Working Group Charter is now approved and operational:

https://www.w3.org/2022/11/das-wg-charter.html


This new charter sets the direction for this WG for the next two years. Our current device-centric capabilities remain in scope and we expand our scope to the following new web capabilities in this charter update:

Contact Picker API (https://w3c.github.io/contact-api/spec/)
Idle Detection API (https://wicg.github.io/idle-detection/)
Compute Pressure (https://wicg.github.io/compute-pressure/)

In concert with this update, I’m pleased to welcome our new W3C Staff contact, Atsushi Shimono, to the WG. Atsushi brings with him a wealth of experience from Immersive Web & Timed Text WGs, i18n horizontal and W3C Projects team. Staff contact Fuqiao will transition to a W3C i18n lead role. Thank you Fuqiao for your significant contributions and best of luck in your exciting and impactful new role!

To accelerate adoption of device-centric capabilities developed in this WG, we are looking into broadening the scope of joint deliverables between the DAS WG and WebApps WG. Please review the proposal and provide your feedback in particular if you have any concerns with the proposal: https://github.com/w3c/das-charter/issues/123


With the year coming to an end in a month, I want to thank you all for your dedication, support and contributions that enable web apps to interact with device-centric capabilities. These web capabilities developed by you bring delightful web experiences to web users across the globe, every day.

Thanks,

-Anssi (DAS WG co-chair)
