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!

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.

It's kinda sucky. Obviously the tech will get better in the coming months, but this is actally embarassingly bad!!

it seems to think my system doesn't support webgl, though i've used webgl demos before.

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