Today's published module improves #accessibility and #developers can find out if #a11y features, such as high-contrast mode, are in force and cooperate by adjusting the style
With the "prefers-color-scheme", "prefers-contrast", and "forced-colors" features for media queries, this #CSS module allows color scheme negotiation between the author and the user
Meanwhile, the @w3c#WebGPU#WorkingGroup is building the next generation of GPU primitives on top of @thekhronosgroup work (esp. #SPIRV) to make GPU even more useful (for graphics and many new computing capabilities that rely on GPU for #parallelization)
Better and faster! #WebGPU takes #WebGL to the next level, providing a common abstraction over Vulkan, Metal and DirectX to leverage modern GPUs capabilities. 2D/3D rendering, general computing using the GPU (AI/ML, media processing, …) Soon in a nearby browser! #timetogiveinput
With WebGL2 available on all major modern #browsers, Web #developers can rely with confidence on access to its improved feature set for #3D graphics: caniuse.com/webgl2
The Design Tokens #W3CCommunityGroup is incubating specs to allow design tools to share interoperable stylistic pieces of a design system - the first draft of their Format module is out!
📢The Design Tokens #CommunityGroup editors request the community’s feedback on the specifics of the #color and #animation modules.
Please reply to their short survey by 21st Feb.! kwz.me/hfk
With constant technological developments, new trends are arising: computer-generated narration, #AI, integrated supplemental content, #MachineLearning, increased #accessibility, etc.
The story begins in 1877 with the invention of the phonograph, and continues through the computer age of the 1990s, with devices getting smaller and smaller, storage sizes increasing dramatically, and data connections becoming more readily available.
Hear the story and what the future holds for #AudioBooks! @wendy_a_reid, co-chair of @w3cpublishing, presents "W3C AudioBooks: building the new iteration of audiobooks"
