Creative Interactions: Flash Experiments

This session will explore using everyday ActionScript along with common interaction metaphors but through the use of external devices and media server technologies. Josh will focus on sharing demos, experiments, tidbits, pitfalls, and the source code behind these creative solutions. It's intent is to inspire participants to start experimenting and create their own creative interactions. Josh will cover using Red 5 Server, basic MIDI interaction, the Color Management System he's developed, and more.
