TALKS
Browser File Access APIs to Share Local Capabilities and Data Between Devices
Ben Foxall
Modern browsers have powerful APIs for accessing local files. In this talk, we'll explore these capabilities and how we can combine them with peer-to-peer networking to share capabilities between devices and push edge compute further down to local devices. Topics covered include File System Access, CRDTs, Origin Private File System, WebRTC, and Edge compute.
Ben Foxall leads the Robot Web team at Wayve, bringing extensive experience in cutting-edge web technologies and their applications in robotics.
