Friday, June 29th, 2007FWii Style ( 19:00 - 20:00 ) - Adam Robertson
Forget your PS3’s and 360’s, the Wii is officially the coolest console ever, all thanks to its innovative Wiimote controller. And now you can get in on the motion sensing goodness using Flash.
In this session we’ll take a quick look inside the Wiimote to learn a bit about how it works, then discover how you can use it to control your own Flash projects, both through the official Wii browser (with the Wiicade API) and on your desktop (with FWiidom & WiiFlash). Much arm waving guaranteed.
Make Things Physical (20:15 - 21:15) - Leif Lovgreen
An introduction to physical interaction. Adobe Flash, the Make Controller Kit from MakingThings and a handful of analogue sensors. This session covers the basics of getting started with analogue input as an interface to Flash.
Expect strange things like ice cubes, food, flashlights and a boxing ball to be natural ingredients in this session.
Prizes for the free raffle
1 Make Controller Kit donated by Making Things.
2 Flex 2.0 API, ActionScript 3.0 API poster sets (3 posters in each set) donated by Adobe.
Sponsored by Making Things.

Production Processes for 3D Flash Projects ( 20:15 - 21:15 ) - Specialmoves
Specialmoves was started back in January 2000 to allow the founders to pool their talents and create brilliant interactive work. Over the past 7 years they’ve amassed a huge amount of knowledge creating interactive 3D work in VRML, Shockwave and now Flash.
The 3 founders will talk through how they’ve built a selection of 3D projects in Flash and show examples of different approaches, using vector, pre-rendered bitmaps & real-time imagery, and explain the production processes involved in each.
