my guess is that as soon as WebRTC becomes enabled by default projects based on it will dominate Hacker News for a year straight. The possibilities of this tech are incredible.

Webcam and Audio APIs are awesome. But the P2P stuff is even moreso. Unreliable data streams - brilliant for games. P2P networking - DHTs in the browser! Combined with Web Crypto, heck, who knows!

Oh, man, this brings me back to 97/98 when people were saying that VRML based 3D chats were just around the corner ;)

Wow, OnLive has been around for a long time!

Not working for me. Not able to see the other participant in the same room. Something special needs to be done?

Gee, happened to see this post while attending a regular Sunday night hangout/dance in SecondLife.

Syntax error: return not in function on line 98.

Line 98: if( hasWebGL === false || hasWebRTC === false ) return;

But that line is not in the body of a function. What it looks like the author meant to do is have an if/else block to check if your current browser has WebGL AND WebRTC.

im the author, and in fact it was because all that was in a funciton :)
