Explainer https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/PointerEventDeviceId/explainer.md Specification https://github.com/MicrosoftEdge/MSEdgeExplainers/blob/main/PointerEventDeviceId/explainer.md Summary As devices with advanced pen input capabilities are becoming increasingly prevalent, it is important that the web platform continues to evolve to fully support these advanced features in order to unlock rich experiences for both end users and developers. One such advancement is the ability for a device's digitizer to recognize more than one pen device interacting with it simultaneously. This feature is an extension to the PointerEvent interface to include a new attribute, deviceId, that represents a session-persistent, document isolated, unique identifier that a developer can reliably use to identify individual pens interacting with the page. Blink component Blink>Input<https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/list?q=component:Blink%3EInput> TAG review https://github.com/w3ctag/design-reviews/issues/880 TAG review status Pending. TAG review has been pending for 2 months. Risks Interoperability and Compatibility Gecko: No signal (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/715) WebKit: No signal (https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/102) Web developers: No signals Other signals: WebView application risks Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications? None Debuggability Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, Chrome OS, Android, and Android WebView)? No Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/main/docs/testing/web_platform_tests.md>? No. However, there are web tests in Chromium that test PointerEventInit with this feature. Flag name on chrome://flags PointerEventDeviceId Finch feature name Non-finch justification Edge origin trials successfully underway. Requires code in //chrome? False Measurement PointerEventDeviceId use counter implemented. Availability expectation Initially available on Chromium browsers on Windows. Adoption expectation Feature is used by specific partner(s) to provide functionality immediately upon launch. Adoption plan This feature has been through origin trials on Edge. It is being used by partners that provide features on devices with multi pen support. Non-OSS dependencies Does the feature depend on any code or APIs outside the Chromium open source repository and its open-source dependencies to function? Operating system API's are used to obtain the device id, and are necessary for this feature to function. Please see the security questionnaire in the TAG review on security and privacy concerns related to the use of these APIs. Estimated milestones Shipping on desktop 120 Anticipated spec changes Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop issues. Please list open issues (e.g. links to known github issues in the project for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web compat/interop risk (e.g., changing to naming or structure of the API in a non-backward-compatible way). WICG Proposal: https://github.com/WICG/proposals/issues/101 No web compat/interop risk.
