Those links I promised people on the roll out tour

Hi

Hope people had a good summer. I promised to post links to some of the things I was showing on the roll out.

The software I was using to make custom environments for people, and switch cause and effect stuff with live video and also playing files was called Isadora and you can find out about it here.

The windows program for taking pictures and recording video controlled by a switch is free and is called Debut.

On the Apple Mac I was using osculator to get signals from the wiiremote and the device i had connected to the Wii remote was called Hori fighting sticks, but they don’t seem to be available anywhere at the moment.

On windows you can use GlovePie to hook up to Wii remotes, but the bluetooth side of things is very problematic on windows. Glovepie does work well with usb devices as well though.

I was using the PSEye camera which works on a Mac with the Macam webcam drivers. On windows it works with the drivers found here. They are totally legit, honest.

We had some very good news just before I went on holiday. I application to do the symbol project was successful, so I will be spending a chunk of time over the next year documenting and improving that, as well aqs looking for places to work with on new ideas. If you are interested get in touch.

I will also be supporting a group in London to use inFolio, so will be posting her now and then about that.

Have fun

Nick
