I am Daisuke Akatsuka
-
I am from Japan.
-
And I am Brian Birtles,
and I am from Australia
-
but also working in Japan.
-
And today we are presenting
on web animations
-
and introducing the web standards
and also the Firefox developer tools
-
for working with animations.
-
[ in Japanese: ]
-
So, my name is Kristopher Ho.
-
My Chinese name is Chun Yat Ho,
-
based in Hong Kong.
-
I was born here
-
and my parents decided to
send me to Blackpool in England.
-
to a boarding school... so...
-
Then, I came back five years ago.
-
and I've just been freelancing
and just doing projects
-
for magazines and brands -
I work a lot with Nike.
-
My name is Charis,
I live in Hong Kong.
-
During the day, I develop websites.
-
In the evenings, I organize a meetup
called "Harbour Front"
-
and, besides that,
I've ran my first conference in June
-
and I'm planning to do
the second one next year.
-
My name is Hui Jing.
-
I'm a front-end designer and developer
based in Singapore
-
and I work for a start-up
called Wismut Labs.
-
So, we're both browser engineers,
-
which is little bit different to
web developers.
-
There's a bit of a gap there
-
and it's really through events like this
that we can bridge that gap somewhat
-
and share our knowledge
and try to sympathize a bit more
-
with our web developers
who we're building the web platform for.
-
[ in Japanese: ]
-
There's a lot of things going on:
-
we're just finished doing
a lot of performance work.
-
So now we're going back to
adding more animation features,
-
especially this Javascript animation API -
the web animation's API.
-
We'll be building on that
-
and also building on the developer tools
for animations as well.
-
[in Japanese:]
-
A-Painter is something very different,
you know.
-
I've never tried it before.
-
I'm so used to doing something
two-dimensional,
-
like when I draw,
everything is 2-D,
-
no matter what kind of surface.
-
So, when we were trying the VR
-
and all of a sudden
you have to think about
-
the whole flow - like, from what angle
and what directions.
-
It gives this sort of like
interaction - it's very different.
-
It's like you're actually
inside your painting,
-
because you can actually walk into it.
-
It was definitely an eye-opener
when it comes to like...
-
as a new media for artwork.
-
And, when I paint or when I draw,
-
I just take a picture
and I post it online,
-
and the interaction is kind of one-way.
-
It's just like: you look at that
-
and you had no idea about the process
-
or you know just like
the thing is just really flat.
-
But, with VR,
people can actually experience it.
-
It think it's the experience
that you get to share with your audience.
-
So, the audience gets to see it
from your point of view.
-
Then, it becomes at like
another level of interaction
-
and it's definitely something I think
-
it's going to be really interesting
in the future.
-
It's really important for Mozilla
to be out here as well
-
because you want to get
more developers involved.
-
You want to get more people into the web.
-
You want to have more people
using all the new technologies.
-
And, what I really like about
Mozilla being in Hong Kong
-
is when you're in the West,
there's so many events
-
and there's so much
and the quality is so high
-
and that just doesn't exist here yet.
-
And, when you see a company
like Mozilla coming here
-
and they're just running their event,
that makes a huge difference.
-
And, that's also what you can see
when you have like 150 people
-
and you're just enjoying talks,
I just find that really great.
-
The Roadshow has take place
in five different cities:
-
Singapore, Vietnam,
KL [Kuala Lumpur], Penang
-
and this is the last stop - Hong Kong.
-
I've been on all five of them
and I think it's really important
-
that an organization like Mozilla
hosts events like these
-
simply because there aren't that many
web design and developer conferences
-
in this part of the world.
-
So, even though it seems that
-
Southeast Asia is treated
as one whole region,
-
each individual country has
their own unique audience
-
and local developers
actually behave differently.
-
And, I think it's great that
Mozilla is doing events like these
-
in Southeast Asia as so to
provide a voice from our region
-
back to the people
who are building the Web.
