Title of the talk

Using the Gamepad API for a better gaming experience on the web.

Summary

This talk explores the usage and impact of the Gamepad API in the web gaming space. The Gamepad API lets you connect and use various gaming controllers with browsers, but since this API is in very early stages, tracking different controller inputs across browsers becomes extremely challenging.

For this very purpose I have released an open source library which provides support for button press, axis movement events as well as vibration play effect in browsers. We’ll be focusing on how we can leverage this library for providing better gaming experiences to consumers on the web.

Topics to be covered

Gaming on the web
Intro to the Gamepad API and current state
Extending the existing API
Creating custom events to track user input
Some fun examples
