Great!

Does it work on web. Does it have an API that allows developers to integrate it with web applications?

                  So it's currently 11:30am Beijing time so its obviously not a morning unveil. Some sites are reporting that it could even be Thursday 29th.

                    http://hd.mi.com/y/09211d/index.html - release site and time, 4 hours left

                      This actually sounds like useful tech. Instead of fussing about the speed (a few milliseconds don't make a difference), addressing practical issues like dirt and moisture is the way to go. And if it helps circumvent obstacles in design, then it opens more possibilities in that front. All in all it's good news for end consumers.
