What?
RTC Helper is a simple and easy-to-use software that can intercept WebRTC (web real-time communication) and related APIs in the browser, and change the behavior of web apps in real-time. It allows you to analyze, customize and improve audio/video communication on third-party websites as well as your own web apps.
Two main goals of this project are: (1) to allow end-user customization of WebRTC experience, without depending on the features provided or supported by the third-party websites, and (2) to allow developers to rapidly create proof-of-concept (PoC) of innovative ideas and emerging features built on top of WebRTC.
Why?
The research paper on Unlocking WebRTC for End User Driven Innovation describes the project motivation and the software architecture. You can also view the presentation slides, and watch the presentation video below:
How?
The software is available to try out at github.com/theintencity/rtchelper. And a getting started video is also on youtube. The project includes an extensive documentation, and over a hundred predefined customization functions for a wide range of innovative use cases.
