    I like you are having success here, and the key item "natural communication lines" which I very much agree with. We will always deliver conway's law. I am curious on 1) the size of…

    Apple forbids other web engines explicitly (or only allows the WebKit respectively) in § 2.5.6 of App Store Review Guidelines: https://developer.apple.com/app-store/review/guidelin…

    Good question, still a "green" technology but I have had great successes with it for the past 4-5 years in production (ASM.JS before widespread WASM compatibility). "promising that…

    Looks fantastic, shouldn't be 'too difficult' to port to web via WebAssembly. There goes my weekend! Keep up the great work :)

    Firstly great app, I enjoyed using this on my baby daughter crawling around the living room! Keep up the good work :) If you were to implement a camera picker, take a gander at: ht…

    Good question, I would say neither, this responsibility is for the browser and native apps you use which display web content (e.g. Chrome, Firefox, Facebook, etc). Not apple or the…

    Used to live around the corner. Nice owner, good food and a great beer selection. I now [Ironically?] live in the states and miss that pub quite a lot.

    Some use cases I have personally worked on: To allow surgeons to interact with my software within an operating room without the need for an assistant (to remain sterile). Interacti…

    This is good advice. I would also extend this and write out an FAQ / stackexchange for the next engineer at your company who has to go through the same learning curve.

    Nice suggestion, we do this for certain deployments. Amazing what magic you can do in Janus, etc, :)

    I do a significant amount of work with Hospitals and secure environments (Military, etc). TURN is needed 100% of the time. P2P traffic is not allowed. All IP addresses need to be k…

    There are too many non constructive negative comments. Not many web engineers understand how the dom really works, or how to make a library. I applaud this tech demo. Would I use t…

    When dealing with Health or Military systems installing or updating a native application could result in months of delays (e.g. quarterly OS image update cycles). However running w…

    Thanks, much appreciated! I think WebAssembly is more used than it appears, just difficult to see/tell. A few years ago I actually tried integrating AR via WebAssembly with Amazon.…

    I feel like I am looking in a mirror! Ten years ago I did the same but in Java and JOGL (before Apple banned OpenGL graphics within Java Applets embedded within a webpage). Was use…

    Comment #23279252

    An example I can give: I use WebAssembly for a few cross-platform plugins. E.g. An AR 3D rendering engine in C++ and OpenGL. With very little effort it is working in browser. No be…

    I understand your point but I see this as a global B2B requirement. Most products I use and have built cover North America, Europe, Middle East and now Africa. Each country or regi…

    yes. I am a data processor not a controller. If you store data tied to the user you still need a mechanism to retrieve / delete it. This is something I encountered. Even if it is i…

    Love this, OpenCV and all WebAssembly projects. I also use next-translate now and then so kudos for that! I have been putting AR in-browser when Java applets with JOGL was a thing!…

    I like this, I see what they're doing and it looks promising. However It lacks a data request/GDPR takedown section which for me makes the project commercially useless. Most teams/…

    This has been in airports for years - mainly for advertising/targeted adverts. There is no point in trying to block it.
