Now that we’re all stuck at home thanks to the coronavirus pandemic, video calls have gone from a novelty to a necessity.

Zoom’s recent popularity has also shone a spotlight on the company’s security protections and privacy promises

最近HTML5関連でブラウザからのカメラ起動などが実現してますねー。だけど、その技術仕様は1つだけではありません。ややこしいので少し整理してみたいと思います。ちなみに調べてみたところ3つの技術仕様が存在しているぽいです。 HTML Media Capture http://www.w3.org/TR/html-media-capture まずはHTML Media Captureです。こいつはW3Cでワーキングドラフトとして策定されています。HTMLフォームのinput要素を拡張し、例えば次のようなHTMLコードを書くことでブラウザからカメラを起動することができます。 撮影した写真はFileAPIと組み合わせることで取得できます。対応しているブラウザはAndroid3.0以降の標準ブラウザ、Android Google Chrome。簡単で良いなーと思ったんですが、ブラウザベンダーはこれ

Designing Calm Technology
Introduction Bits flowing through the wires of a computer network are ordinarily invisible. But a radically new tool shows those bits through motion, sound, and even touch. It communicates both light and heavy network traffic. Its output is so beautifully integrated with human information processing that one does not even need to be looking at it or near it to take advantage of its peripher

MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif. ON a Tuesday evening this spring, Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google, became part man and part machine. About 40 people, all gathered here at a NASA campus for a nine-day, $15,000 course at Singularity University, saw it happen. While the flesh-and-blood version of Mr. Brin sat miles away at a computer capable of remotely steering a robot, the gizmo rolling around here con

Post Internet
1. “Post Internet” is a term I heard Marisa Olson talk about somewhere between 2007 and 2009. The Internet, of course, was not over. That’s wasn’t the point. Rather, let’s say this: what we mean when we say “Internet” changed and “post Internet” served as shorthand for this change. So, what changed? What about what we mean when we say “Internet” changed so drastically that we can speak of “post

H.264 Advanced Video Coding
What is H.264? H.264 is an industry standard for video compression, the process of converting digital video into a format that takes up less capacity when it is stored or transmitted.

From behind his busy counter, Kurita giggles when asked about the excitement in America over the arrival of

Example of a web conferencing computer screen Web conferencing is used as an umbrella term for various types of online conferencing and collaborative services including webinars (web seminars), webcasts, and web meetings.

COVID-19 accelerated a decade-long shift to remote work by normalizing working from home on a large scale. Indeed, 75% of US employees in a 2021 survey reported a personal preference for working remotely at least one day per week1, and studies estimate that 20% of US workdays will take place at home after the pandemic ends2. Here we examine how this shift away from in-person interaction affects in

Deep Video Portraits
Abstract: We present a novel approach that enables photo-realistic re-animation of portrait videos using only an input video. In contrast to existing approaches that are restricted to manipulations of facial expressions only, we are the first to transfer the full 3D head position, head rotation, face expression, eye gaze, and eye blinking from a source actor to a portrait video of a target actor.
