One of these enhancements has led to propose #secure #payment confirmation, as shown with this @stripe experiment: https://twitter.com/w3cdevs/status/1375455133828575233

#WebAuthn Level 2 is a series of fixes and improvements to the original Level 1 spec. Discover features and enhancement brought in #WebAuthn Level 2: https://developers.yubico.com/WebAuthn/Concepts/WebAuthn_Level_2_Features_and_Enhancements.html

Congrats to editors Jeff Hodges (@Google), J.C. Jones (@mozilla), Michael B. Jones (@microsoft), Akshay Kumar (@microsoft), Emil Lundberg (@Yubico) for the release of @w3c #WebStandard "#WebAuthn Level 2": https://www.w3.org/TR/webauthn-2/ #timetoadopt https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1380068315146678272

First draft of #WebCodecs published! Aimed at providing access to built-in media encoders and decoders, it gives #WebApps full control over the encoding and decoding of #audio/#video frames #timetogiveinput https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1380068318229508097

This #API lets #WebDevelopers use media components already present in the #browser. Combined with streaming technologies (#RTCDataChannel, #WebTransport), #WebCodecs could create a new paradigm for low-latency media #streaming

WebCodecs gives access to decoded media frame bytes before they are rendered, allowing for more efficient media processing workflows! Find out more in this handy #WebCodecs explainer: https://github.com/w3c/webcodecs/blob/main/explainer.md

Web #games is an application domain example for #WebCodecs combined with #WebTransport, as presented in this 🎬: https://youtu.be/VD5GBLBiSxo

Feedback and comments on this specification are welcome. Please use #GitHub issues: https://github.com/w3c/webcodecs/issues

15 Apr. (today!): interesting #Games #CommunityGroup discussion and presentations about the #WebCodecs specification and its possible use in #GameEngine https://www.w3.org/events/meetings/16ed2257-66e1-459e-afe5-fb1eb3a9c474

Identified use cases include better #VideoConferencing to #accessibility-improving features, and early implementations demonstrate tremendous power and #performance improvements taking advantage of hardware acceleration.

As an outcome of last year's #W3CWorkshop (https://www.w3.org/2020/06/machine-learning-workshop/report.html), this new #WorkingGroup aims to standardize the Web Neural Network #API for #MachineLearning inference in the #browser https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1384506482599899136

Read the history, motivations, inspirations, etc. that led to the group's creation: https://www.w3.org/blog/2021/04/w3c-launches-the-web-machine-learning-working-group/ cc @anssik, @NingxinHu, Chai Chaoweeraprasit, Ping Yu and @dontcallmeDOM

The @w3c Web #MachineLearning group welcomes new participants to help identify new use cases, document ethical risks and their mitigations, contribute to technical work, conduct wide reviews in #privacy, #security, #accessibility, etc.

The recorded 🎬 presentations (5) are now available, with subtitles in Chinese, English, Korean and Japanese. The #MiniApps meeting covered these topics: ecosystem, technical architecture, frameworks and new scenarios. https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1384065485231198216
