Session Notes

Description

Modern web broswers can make some amazing audiovisual candy, through new capabilities like HTML5, fast Javascript, and WebGL. All these capabilities point to untapped creative possibilities—though we’re starting to see some really cool web-native cinema, like Google Creative Lab’s Three Dreams of Black and NFB’s 1 Millionth Tower; and in a burgeoning WebGL gaming community. In this session, members of the web demoscene and creative communities will take turns showcasing their cool hacks and proofs-of-concept. Stuff like 3D and physics, beat detection, video processing, chromakey and lumakey, and more. Free form discussion, and possibly hacking, will follow.

Outcome

Creative technologists at OVC will get to know each other, and hopefully plot future collaborations. Other participants will be wowed by what you can do in a web browser these days.
