RE: Agenda W3C [PBG] call for TPAC Meetings 10/13 and 10/14

Hi,

 

Reading with smart speakers includes:

* Audio books
* EPUB 3 using TTS
* Searches that retrieve information.
* Placing bookmarks toplayback at the beginning of a passage.

Best

We have quotes we want to create a widget for to work with a connected speaker so you can say “give me a quote from one of my favorite authors”

 

Reading books through smart speakers or similar devices is gaining huge traction. It would be nice to make progress in this direction. 

 

With regards

Avneesh

Bill-

 

WoT relates to publishing when:

* We have a photography or art book that we want to be able to have the images shared to a connected frame 
* We have quotes we want to create a widget for to work with a connected speaker so you can say “give me a quote from one of my favorite authors”

 

There are lots of possible use cases where publishers and authors might find new uses for our content via the web of things. 

 

We thought it would be an interesting thing to start discussing because publishers are looking for new business opportunities and the WoT team are looking for possible use cases that help them with developing the standard. 

 

It should be fun!

 

Liisa
