Adding Real-Time Communications with WebRTC
The WebRTC project is an open project that aims to add real-time communications capabilities to web browsers via a JavaScript API. This includes the ability to make voice and video calls through both a centralized server and via peer-to-peer. This technology would be a great addition to two-player games to allow players to play against each other while staying in communication (among a myriad of other users).
The project has a website located at www.webrtc.org to go along with a draft specification available at www.w3.org/TR/webrtc/.
No current desktop browsers have support for WebRTC, but you can try out a version by using the Chrome development channel. See the WebRTC website for more details.
