Patrick: my kneejerk reaction was that AI wouldn't really have an impact on us Olli: AI can be useful to generate tests... Patrick: ah, good point, was thinking of AI agents as such, but yes Olli: could also be useful for spec reviews Nicolo: yes, i find it useful to run specs through AI to catch silly/small mistakes ACTION: Patrick to reply to thread on webai-roadmap <smaug> btw, when dealing with the specs, jnjaeschke/webspec-index can be useful Rob: wonder if AI could help to catch under-specified bits Rob: it may help find things that work differently in different browsers Olli: it could compare code and results, and if it finds a difference it could write test cases? # Expose 'inertial scrolling state' in wheel events w3c/pointerevents#587 Patrick: i believe mustaq assigned this to himself mustaq: i completely forgot, will get this done ACTION: mustaq to write PR for issue #587 # Follow-up from W3C Breakout Day session w3c/breakouts-day-2026#3 Patrick: there were some good ideas at the end of that session about how to unblock us on the charter renewal - from memory, we wanted to incubate the gesture aspect a bit further, and not make our charter contingent on it, but still allow us the freedom/option to explore as part of our group without needing to spin up a whole new group Patrick: I will catch up with Philippe about this to see if a) he remembers the specific ideas we discussed (I'm sure WICG/incubation was involved) and b) if we can make it happen, so that we can unblock our charter renewal ACTION: Patrick to discuss with PLH about next steps regarding PEv4 charter and gestures <smaug> Btw, gestures related issue whatwg/html#12374 # Status of PEv3 Patrick: was hoping for PLH to be able to give us an update, but i will see if i can catch him to see what's going on, if anything, with PEv3 going to REC or not ACTION: Patrick to check with PLH on PEv3 REC status [general open-ended discussion on different gesture-related activities, once we get to incubation] [discussion on "has anybody tried VR goggles like meta quest and visionOS] Patrick: here's the crazy demo I tried aeons ago with leap motion and pointer events https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCqSW-chteM https://patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/ https://patrickhlauke.github.io/touch/tracker/multi-touch-tracker-pointer-hud.html Patrick: thank you all, catch you again in 2 weeks' time # Summary of action items * Patrick to reply to thread on webai-roadmap * mustaq to write PR for issue #587 * Patrick to discuss with PLH about next steps regarding PEv4 charter and gestures * Patrick to check with PLH on PEv3 REC status -- Patrick H.
