The work started almost 8 years ago (!) w3.org/standards/history/htm… - some good chunk of it waiting for implementation.

It is available mostly on mobile browsers at the moment - Safari iOS and Chrome Android caniuse.com/#feat=html-media… but can be used as a purely progressive enhancement.
HTML Media Capture ships in Safari 10.1+ on iOS 10.3+, Chrome 60+ on Android & degrades gracefully on all desktop browsers. IOW, you can start using this feature now.

Or in the words of his deservedly proud editor:
Thrilled to announce HTML Media Capture is now a @W3C Recommendation: w3.org/TR/html-media-capture…
Makes image capture on the Web dead easy *and* inherits the strong security and privacy protections of the file picker UX battle-tested for decades.

Congrats to @anssik for bringing this specification to the last stage w3.org/TR/2018/REC-html-medi… !
HTML Media Capture provides a markup hint (the capture attribute on an <input type=file>) to make a file input gets its content from a camera rather than a filesystem #timetoadopt

Does the Clear-Site-Data help a bit in that direction? It is more meant as a security than privacy feature, so it's probably not enough on its own (e.g. it probably still leaves traces in browsing history). cc @mikewest

With the rise of voice-based assistants, and with new fields of application of Web technologies (VR headsets, IOT) where hand-based text input isn't ideal, there has been a simmering interest to bring this to the formal standardization track github.com/w3c/strategy/issu…
.@briankardell ran a dedicated (and recorded) deep-dive on the API and its limitations during a chapters.io meetup youtube.com/watch?v=gJ0gYki6…

Web Speech is a #JavaScript API that brings two main capabilities to Web browsers: speech synthesis and speech recognition.
It was developed by the Web Speech #CommunityGroup (i.e. not a formal standard at this point) w3c.github.io/speech-api/web… github.com/w3c/speech-api/
We're starting day 1 of the @W3CTAG face-to-face meeting in London on WebSpeech, and the implications for 'hot wording' (Alexa/OK Google/Hey Siri).

It all started from @larsenwork 's article a few months ago, and graduated to be on the @CSSWG agenda thanks to @meyerweb. This is how YOU too can help build the Web forward

The @CSSWG proposal in on github at github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/… - The CSS Timing spec is to be renamed into CSS Easing github.com/w3c/csswg-drafts/… drafts.csswg.org/css-timing/ so that its easing functions can be used e.g. for gradients too
