WebRTC is a couple of things. First and foremost it's a standard for streaming media inside web-pages. It so happens that the standard is very hackable, so that any web-developer who know a bit of JavaScript can access and manipulate the video and audio-streams in realtime.
In a recent blogpost, Mozilla's CTO Brendan Eich discusses the recent patent wars over video codecs in web browsers and hints about WebRTC as a possible way forward; which gives a whole new importance to the future of WebRTC. So if you're interested in doing something with WebRTC, participating in a Protothon, say, here's a list of nice examples to imitate, get inspired by or just copy for your own nefarious needs. Just remeber to check with WebRTC.org first to see if the API have changed since the articles were written. It is early on the web still.
