Wrangling WebRTC: Challenges and Opportunities for real-time communication

Location: 
Grand Ballroom - Salon F
Abstract: 

WebRTC promises to alter the landscape of real-time communication by providing the fundamental building blocks needed to develop truly high quality voice and video chat applications on the web.

While the standard may still be in its infancy, developers are already leveraging WebRTC to solve real-time communications issues today.

But as the appetite for WebRTC grows, developers are finding through real world application of the standard, that there is a real gap between what WebRTC enables, and what consumers and enterprises want (and developers need) in market.

This discussion will explore actual use cases for real time communication in verticals ranging from telepresence to healthcare, where WebRTC fits and where it falls short, and what developers can do about it.
