  In this demonstration, we show how special hardware like Nintendo Joy-Con
controllers can be made accessible from the Web through the new WebHID API.
This novel technology proposal allows developers to write Web drivers in pure
JavaScript that talk to Human Interface Device (HID) devices via the HID
protocol. One such example of a driver has been realized in the project
Joy-Con-WebHID, which allows for fun pastimes like playing the Google Chrome
browser's offline dinosaur game by jumping. This works thanks to the
accelerometers built into Joy-Con controllers whose signals are read out by the
driver and used to control the game character in the browser. A video of the
experience is available.
