Hi all, This is a quick update of some recent activity and upcoming calls/meetings - next week in particular is looking busy! Current work on some key specs that are important for TV/broadcast were highlighted in a recent Mozilla Hacks blog post - "How TV Functionality Leverages Web Technology": https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/05/how-tv-functionality-leverages-web-technology/ I recommend this as a good overview with some helpful snippets of code. == Second Screen Working Group == The group is holding a face-to-face meeting in Berlin next week - 19th-20th May: https://www.w3.org/wiki/Second_Screen/Meetings/May_2015_F2F The agenda on the above page gives a good overview of the priority issues that will be discussed. You can also get a grasp of recent changes by looking through the spec changelog on GitHub: https://github.com/w3c/presentation-api/commits/ == Device Timing Community Group == Ingar and Njål from the group have published a paper "highlighting the importance of precise timing for Web-based media, both in single-device and multi-device scenarios". This addresses the need for fine precision for HTML media elements that use a timing mechanism and introduces the Multi-device Timing Community Group's work. They'll also be representing this Community Group at WWW2015 in Florence, Italy next week. See Ingar's mail for more details and links: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-webtiming/2015May/0000.html == TV Control API == There's a monthly conference call today (12th May) at 9:00am EST (see http://timeanddate.com/s/2txa ). New participants are very welcome to join in, in which case reading the Mozilla blog post above is recommended. Bin Hu has posted links to today's agenda which also gives a good overview of what the current focus points are: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-tvapi/2015May/0000.html == HTML Media Task Force == Two interesting issues that came up at the recent face-to-face meeting are: * Alternate content insertion This proposal was originally intended for MSE but has a potentially wider impact. Please see my earlier mail to provide comments and feedback: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-and-tv/2015May/0001.html * Associating video and audio transcripts There is renewed interest in being able to semantically bind video or audio content with a transcript, either on the page or in a separate document. After various discussions a solid proposal is taking shape and looking for feedback. More details in this mail: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-html-media/2015May/0027.html == GGIE (Glass-to-Glass Internet Ecosystem) == Recently there have been camera use cases added for capturing digital video: https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/GGIE_TF/UseCases/Content_Capture These and other use case issues and suggestions may be discussed on the next call next Wednesday (20th May) at 11:00am EST (see http://timeanddate.com/s/2txb ). == 3D Web == Amit from tvereo.com has been looking into 3D web content following the (now closed) Task Force's work: https://www.w3.org/2011/webtv/wiki/3dweb He's looking for feedback on a proposal for how 3D elements could be incorporated in a 2D page on a device that supports 3D, such as smart TVs: https://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-web-and-tv/2015Apr/0010.html Phew! Busy times. Feel free to reply or start your own thread with any other noteworthy news or questions. With regards, Daniel Davis W3C
