Multi-device Timing Community Group

Dear Community Group Members.

Given you interest in the Secondary Device Framework, I would like to bring
to your attention a new Community Group initiative with possible relevance.

The Multi-device Timing Community Group targets native Web support for
distributed temporal controls in multi-device Web applications. Shared
Motion, the technical basis for the Multi-device Timing initiative, has
already been demonstrated to provide milisecond sync across Internet, works
in regular Web browsers, and scales to support a vast number of
synchronized webscreens.

Possible relevance to Secondary Device Framework is indicated as follows:

"The Second Screen Presentation aims to provide an API for launching and
controlling HTML pages on secondary devices. Multi-device timing may be
particularly relevant for control of time sensitive features, such as media
playback, or if symmetric control is required (e.g., pause video on second
screen, resume from first).  Additionally, multi-device timing will be
useful in scenarios involving more than one secondary screen."

Please consult the following link for more information.

Ingar Arntzen, Chair Multi-device Timing Community Group
