If you don’t mind being represented by a feline avatar, NTT Communications has a quirky video chatroom just for you. The networking arm of Japan’s NTT Group launched a Web app that allows browser-to-browser communication for voice, video and data exchange. WebRTC Chat on SkyWay makes use of WebRTC (Web Real-Time Communications), a peer-to-peer communications platform using HTML5 that allows video and audio conferencing if you have an up-to-date version of Chrome, Firefox or Opera. NTT’s SkyWay chatroom works with the Chrome and Opera browsers. Users have to point their browser to the SkyWay site, create a chatroom and invite friends. No registration or downloads are needed.
