Thanks both. Navid, I'm glad to see this specification remain under active maintenance. In 2011 "HTML5" was an exciting buzzword showing promise in select web applications and games. Pointer Lock was, at the time, controversial in some circles. In the 7 years since we've seen many impressive web applications rise from the more powerful "HTML5" APIs, and numerous games adopt Pointer Lock. It has been one of many important improvements to the web platform that enabled the deprecation of the Flash plugin. I'm proud to have seen it's progression and adoption. I hope that others continue to be inspired to improve the web by adding capabilities that enable application development unbounded by closed API systems and single company control restrictions. Cheers to the web! On Thu, Jan 18, 2018 at 11:57 AM, Navid Zolghadr <nzolghadr@google.com> wrote: > Thanks Léonie for the introduction. > > I'm also very excited about this.
