Sounds like a nightmare doesn’t it! - It has been a long held dream of
many, and when it finally arrives will inevitably include tv’s sibling
interactivity - It came a step closer earlier this month with an
announcement from Adobe about the Open Screen Project.
Many of you will be aware of this initiative.
http://www.adobe.com/openscreenproject/ (it goes live next year.)
Adobe have always recognised the value of the open source community and
been cleverly inclusive to its commercial advantage in the past, this
initiative represents a shrewd move leaving the base authorware as
proprietary as ever.
The Adobe faq’s provide answers to some interesting questions and offer an
opportunity for the company to promote new products.
My reason for posting to MCG is simple enough and my interest like yours I
expect is both professional and academic.
...There are more questions to ask, some which Adobe are not best placed
to answer.
Here are a couple:
Does the initiative represent an opportunity for the Museum sector?
What do visitors and public at large want from museums producing ‘rich
tv’?
Any other questions?
Looking forward.
Michael Danks
P.S. Lets not forget Google led Android initiative!
