Realtime Web Track Breakout Sessions at TPAC 2024

TPAC 2024 will sponsor Breakout Sessions on Wednesday September 25, 2024.  This will include a Realtime Web Track, which includes several sessions that may be of interest:

RtpTransport

What if it were possible to allow WebRTC behaviors to be customized in Javascript, while still allowing default behavior where customization isn't needed?  What if it were possible for applications to utilize low-latency peer-to-peer RTP transport along with WebCodecs, WebAudio and the rest of the Web platform?  What new applications could become possible?

This session introduces the RtpTransport API currently being prototyped in Chromium, which seeks to provide a new level of flexibility to Web media developers.

Session 2
Time: 10:00 - 11:00 Pacific Time
Room: -1 Lower Level - Catalina 2

Evolved Video Encoding with WebCodecs

WebCodecs<https://www.w3.org/2024/09/TPAC/WebCodecs> provides a low-level API to do encoding and decoding of video with control over settings on a per-frame basis. As a relatively young API it currently lacks some more advanced features, such as temporal/spatial scalability that are important for real-time use cases like video conferencing.
This session is intended to discuss a number of potential next steps, to find which features are highest priority, and what benefits or problems we face with each of those.

Session 3
Time: 11:15 - 12:15 Pacific Time
Room: -1 Lower Level - Catalina 2

Sync on Web, now and next of realtime media services on web

Real time Web is improving; we have an ability to build realtime media services on web w/ WebRTC, WebCodecs, Web Audio ... Etc.

But what about synchronization? With Media over QUIC,  leveraging to WebCodes and WebTransport, we can develop synchronization use cases with media streaming and arbitrary time-related data, enabling Real/Virtual orchestrated services. meta verse scenarios, live viewing with MIDI data, remote robot operation etc.

For these realtime use cases, clock accuracy and frequency is quite important. And we have several questions for this. For example, is requestAnimationFrame() enough or not? In this breakout session, we will discuss topics relating to clocks, timing and synchronization on the Web.

Session 4
Time: 13:15 - 14:15 Pacific Time
Room: -1 Lower Level - Catalina 2
