How do I install wayland and use it?

Question

I was watching this video. How do I get Weston on Ubuntu to try it?

Where can I find other desktop environments that work with wayland - are there any wayland ports for it like GNOME and KDE?

This link maybe help wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/wayland and also this wiki.ubuntu.com/Wayland — αғsнιη, Aug 22, 2014 at 5:58

On the login screen, you should be able to select "Ubuntu on Wayland" by clicking on the settings icon, next to the login button.
