Als Entwickler von Flash Anwendungen mit WiiFlash und vor allem mit unserer heiß geliebten Unity3D Plattform – mit der man auch für die Wii und das iPhone deployen – kann freuen wir uns natürlich über jeden neuen Controller, der uns neue Anwendungen ermöglicht. Natürlich bringt Nintendo auf der E3 neuen Stuff, nämlcih MotionPlus für die WiiMote:
Nintendo Wii MotionPlus und Mehr Details und Fokus auf Community building

An dieser Stelle natürlich ein Verweis auf WiiSpray, denn davon sollte es noch viel mehr geben!

Wow, some interesting work for a Multiplayer Engine in Flash here… Even with dynamic lighting! Good work, guys!

Found an interesting application here done by these guys. Though in japanese, pretty interesting (to me at least).

Wow, this stuff was really needed. As stated in his article, there is no proper UML tool for the actionscript world. Maybe, this will make a developers dream come true:
Saffron UML Modeler.

For all of you Flash / Flex and Papervision3D lovers. Since Apollo is available from today on, there are already really amazing demos for its application. For example at the Flexblog is a not only nice but performant demo as well made with Apollo and PV3D. Jipiee!

Well it seems to be a wonderful combination: Create content in WordPress and reuse the content inside a nice Flash-Frontend with swfobject detection. Obviously we will have a couple of advantages resulting out of this:
1. Full XHTML Support as a fallback.
2. Full featured Flash page with content management
3. Rights management for the content management
4. Maybe even WYSIWYG content editing through a flash Rich Text Editor.
Sadly, before we can profit from all of this, there are a couple of changes to be made inside the wordpress core. XML-RPC works pretty well to read posts in categories and post into categories. What if we want to have a structure made of pages and subpages?

My approach to combine all of this and get over the little problems, i have set up the following structure:
1. Installed WordPress 2.1
2. Installed a really minimalistic Theme (we can change that later).
3. Inside the theme we have swfobjects implemented to exchange the whole content and navigation section with a swf object.
4. The Flash frontend for the content and the Flash frontend for editing content ( both based on mattismes xml-rpc classes).
The actual state of development can be checked here.

RFID controlled car configurator

Based on Phidgets RFID Interface, the Phidget Server and some Frontend made in Flash I have built a nice Car Configurator Interface.

The main idea was, to improve the users experience concerning haptics and recognition of materials and colors involved in the configuration process of a car by giving them the opportunity to change e.g. the color by dragging a RFID tagged and painted item over a hotspot to change the cars color. Due to the fact that the user actually saw the real paint before, makes it easier to experience the same color on the rotateable 3D-model of the car.
