W3C receives donation of Oculus Go Headsets to further work on immersive captions

   26 August 2020
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8604>

   Thank you to Facebook for the donation of Oculus Go Headsets to advance the work of the Immersive Captions Community Group, which is exploring accessible augmentative and virtual reality.

   <https://www.w3.org/community/immersive-captions/>

   This W3C Community Group launched in the Fall of 2019 with a mission to identify, research, and where appropriate recommend best practices for captions in Immersive Media (Games & XR). It appreciates the opportunity to use Oculus Go Headsets as a platform for researching access, activation, and display settings for captions, to help ensure communication accessibility in augmentative and virtual reality.

Updated Candidate Recommendation: WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between Browsers

   25 August 2020
   <https://www.w3.org/blog/news/archives/8666>

   The Web Real-Time Communications Working Group invites implementation of an updated Candidate Recommendation of "WebRTC 1.0: Real-time Communication Between Browsers." This document defines a set of ECMAScript APIs in WebIDL to allow media to be sent to and received from another browser or device implementing the appropriate set of real-time protocols. This specification is being developed in conjunction with a protocol specification developed by the IETF RTCWEB group and an API specification to get access to local media devices. Comments are welcome by 24 September 2020.
