Mozilla Festival 2015 was a productive and dynamic event celebrating the world's most valuable public resource — the open Web. MozFest is also a gathering place for Mozilla community members from around the world and brings together makers, designers, builders, coders and creative folks to showcase their ideas of how the Web can enable the sort of innovative tinkering you might do (or want to do) in your own garage.
In fact one of the many exciting exploration spaces at MozFest was a demo zone we called "The Garage". Here we had a steady stream of demos, workshops and spontaneous conversations about a wide-range of maker movement topics including 3D printing, robotics, sensors, connected devices, digitally discovering the world around us, and open hardware platforms like Raspberry Pi and Arduino. Naturally the Web, JavaScript, Firefox and Firefox OS were featured prominently in those experiences, a few of which we wanted to share.
First up Developer Kannan Vijayan showed me FlyWeb, an experiment that enables loading Web content using a peer to peer connection from one smartphone to another:
Also you'll remember we were excited to work with Panasonic to launch Panasonic VIERA Smart TVs powered by Firefox OS earlier this year. Program Manager Joe Cheng showed me a cool demo of what the experimental version of Firefox OS can do for TVs:
