The core #WebXR device API has reached Candidate Recommendation, a signal that it is now considered stable and fulfills its known requirements, including those identified through accessibility, security, privacy and internationalization reviews #timetoimplement https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1509479562480136194

#WebXR is the core component of the #ImmersiveWeb vision made possible by the @ImmersiveWebW3C groups - one where Web browsers become a natural entry point to Virtual and Augmented Reality, positioning the Web as an anchor for any #metaverse project

#WebXR is already supported on a wide range of browsers and hardware combinations, as well as through a polyfill https://immersiveweb.dev/#supporttable

And thanks to recent work by @OpenWebDocs the documentation on #WebXR on @MDN is amazing https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebXR_Device_API/Fundamentals

And to bring feedback on the API, as usual, head to the spec github repo https://github.com/immersive-web/webx/

You can learn more about #WebXR and its capabilities on our dedicated YouTube playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dssQSeTrqPI&list=PLNhYw8KaLq2UgIz02fSX-rZRg7pCgxv0R

The #WebRTC Working Group releases a new API: Region Capture allows a Web app to capture a DOM-encapsulated portion of their content https://www.w3.org/TR/2022/WD-mediacapture-region-20220405/ #timetoreview https://twitter.com/w3c/status/1511232031195340804

A typical use case of Region Capture would be a web app that brings together a video conference component and a content component (e.g. slides), and offer the user the possibility to show only a subset of the content (e.g. not including speaker notes).

Watch @eladalon1983 introducing the use case and the early Region capture API proposal in the #WebRTC Working Group meeting back in November
https://youtu.be/NHErekrFlSE?t=1520

This early implementation allows to test the associated demo of Region Capture https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-region/demo/

An early implementation of the Region Capture API is available under origin trial in #chromium https://chromestatus.com/feature/5712447794053120

As usual, head to the github repository to provide input on the API and whether it fulfills the need for your applications
