Chrome Getting Native Gamepad, Webcam, And WebRTC Support In Early 2012

It's not always easy to tell when Chrome has been updated, and at any rate the changes aren't always significant enough to even wonder about it. But a pair of features worth caring about are user-bound come early 2012, according to Google developer advocate Paul Kinlan, who spoke recently at the Develop conference in Liverpool. The conference is focused on game development, so it's no surprise that the features are also game-centric. First, there will be plug-and-play gamepad, webcam, and microphone support in Chrome, and second, the nascent real time communication protocol WebRTC will begin to be implemented as well. This opens the door for seamless video chat and conceivably OnLive-like gaming services.
