WebRTC is believed to be a major game-changer in how the World Wide Web and the Internet enable people to work and play. WebRTC is, at the core, putting a standard media engine into a browser or other elements of the client devices. It is a free, open project that enables Web browsers with Real-Time Communications (RTC) capabilities via simple Javascript APIs. The media engine is the technology that manages microphones, cameras, and speakers and gets audio and video onto and off the Internet. By putting the media engine in the browser, a major change is happening.
Video is the future of communication and as better software, hardware and network infrastructure is developed, voice communication will be a thing of the past. The software and hardware is already available, the only obstacle for full adoption is bandwidth limitations and the price telecoms charge for data usage.
WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communication) for desktop is now in both Firefox Nightly and Firefox Aurora, according to a news report.
The savings related to the implementation of WebRTC in large healthcare operations can be measured in lives saved, and can exceed hundreds of millions of dollars. But first, I'd like to provide an overview of the technology and how it got to this point.
