Re: Introduction of WebI2C and WebGPIO

Hi,

The typical usecase of it is based on the concept of "Pervasive Browser".
This slide page *1 and the 1:23-2:50 of this movie *2 shows that concept.
It is a way of thinking that Web Browser is implemented on various things.

*2:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yG-B_IJivVs

We are also valuing the point that the simplicity such as the development
of various physical apps is possible for a single computor and development
scheme is friendly for beginners. Since we are taking into consideration
the spread of the Web technologies to DIY and Makers movement.

These backgrounds are also expressed on the following slides.

About a realizability;
The touchscreen and graphical user interface are offered with a device like
a wrist watch today. Therefore, technically, we could imagine easily that
full web browsers can be implemented in manythings in near future.

We experienced it in the evolution from feature phone to smartphone.

Windows 10 for IoT is implemented in raspberry pi 2 (not raspberry pi), and
its graphical user interface framework is also offered.

Moreover, we are also proving that the board computer of a sub raspberry pi
class suitable for a execute of a web browser can be realized in respect of
price, size, and power consumption in a MozOpenHard project. The
implementation of a full browser may be achieved even by computor of an
arduino class in the near future.

write the code using your favorite web design tool and then download it to the board, where it
