Spacebrew
The great folks (Josh and James) at Rockwell Labs are releasing Spacebrew, a new open toolkit for creating interactive spaces.
Spacebrew uses websockets as the communication protocol for talk between clients and the server. Any client that can speak websockets can communicate with Spacebrew. We have tested with node.js, C++ (use ofxLibwebsockets), Processing, Java, Python, and client side javascript. Please drop us a line at lab@rockwellgroup.com if you connect it up to something else, we’d love to hear about it.
Register, test, download and read more about it at http://www.spacebrew.cc
PS. IxD students: you should invite Josh and James for a workshop at UID, these guys are super nice and just amazing!!!!
